As I've already repeated twice, this is not true in D. You
*can* predict precisely when the GC runs a collection cycle by
calling GC.disable and then calling GC.collect according to
*your* own schedule. This is not just a theoretical thing. I
have actually done this in my own projects, and it does work.
Sorry, can you help me with this?
Eg.
void doit()
{
int[] x;
x.length = 1024 * 1024 * 128;
}
void main()
{
import core.memory : GC;
import core.thread;
GC.disable;
doit; //alloc +- 500mb inside the func.
Thread.sleep(5.seconds); //500mb still in use.
GC.collect; //hmmm still there
Thread.sleep(5.seconds); //same
}
