Sure, I just want to point out that it's a problem with the language (GC
allocations being very non-obvious) as opposed to the nature of GC.
Thats exactly what I want to cause with this post. More effort should be
put into the parts of D that currently allocate, but absolutley don't
have to. Also the statement "You can use D without a GC" is not quite as
easy as the homepage makes it sound.
Very true. I've often thought we should ship a GC-less druntime in the
normal distribution.
My favorite hidden allocation so far is:
class A {}
class B : A{}
A a = new A();
B b = new B();
if(a == b) //this will allocate
{
}
Where's the catch? From looking in druntime, I don't see where the
allocation could occur.
Kind Regards
