Can't delete Go bloom filter

[JakeAustwick]

Is there currently no way to delete a Go bloom filter?

Am I also correct in thinking this memory will never get GC'ed, because it's in C?

Not explicitly, no. That destroy() method you linked to will execute when Go's garbage collector decides to clean up that object.

When nothing references the bloom filter pointer it will (eventually) be GCd.
