Description:

The code in the "Steps To Reproduce" cause a memory leak.
Similar code for dynamic arrays or interfaces also cause a memory leak.

Steps to reproduce:

{$MODE OBJFPC}
{$WRITEABLECONST ON}
{$LONGSTRINGS ON}

procedure Test;
const
  Leak: string = 'Some string';
begin
  UniqueString(Leak);
end;

begin
  Test;
end.

Additional information:

FPC 3.3.1 do the same.
Delphi work fine in this case.
