But because some of the machinery isn't available to you, you
would have to recreate it.
Oh right, so it's more of a matter of making

A whole pile of logic is hidden in rt, so you have no choice but to

Thank you for your reply. It was helpful.
In theory, garbage collectors make memory leaks a thing of the past. In
practice, garbage collectors don't always work according to theory. This
makes me curious: how does one test for memory leaks in a D program?
I also don't know how smart or dumb garbage collectors are. How much help

Even with a perfect GC you may leave around references that keep alive some
data that you will never need to use. This is a kind of memory leak.
And the current D GC is not fully precise, this means that sometimes
14 matches
