lifetime of dynamically allocated memory
Posted: 05/31/10 20:22:25I'm trying to figure out if a dynamically allocated memory in D is getting collected with this simple test:
class Foo {
~this() {
// destructor
}
}
struct Item {
Foo a;
}
Item[] items; items.length = 1; items[0] = Item(); items[0].a = new Foo();
items = null;
GC.collect();
I assume that calling GC.collect(); would go through and free up memory for any unreferenced objects. It seems that the destructor for Foo isn't being called. I'm not sure if the reference is dangling somewhere or do I have to explicitly call 'delete items[0].a' to ensure that the memory is freed?
