Is SCAN_RSP notified only after ADV_SCAN_IND?

Question

Target is nrf52832+SoftDeviceS132 
 When run ActiveScan, 
 Is SCAN_RSP advertise_report notified only after ADV_SCAN_IND advertise_report? 
 If I receive only the SCAN_RSP of the SCAN_REQ performed by another device, will it be notified?

 If you want to pause/stop the scanner after this event, then it is ok to free the buffer, but if you intend to make the scanner resume then it is wise to keep this buffer alive.

 Scan response data is a complete different buffer ( p_gap -> params . scan_req_report) and complete different event. You need to manage it differently. I am not sure why you need to have a dynamic memory here but if you think you do, then have two different buffers for adv report and scan response data
