--- Comment #4 from Marco Leise <[email protected]> --- The destructors do *neither* inherit *nor* call their parent destructors. Not as a matter of terminology, but because in D they are not called recursively, but in sequence, starting from the runtime type's dtor and working its way up the inheritance chain. Take a look at the druntime source I linked above and you will understand what happens. To make the bug report valid we would have to introduce destructor inheritance to the language to begin with. Right now the only functions affected by the destructor attributes would be the attribute-less external(C) functions `rt_finalize` and `rt_finalize2`. (In client code we call `rt_finalize` as `destroy(Object obj)` for deterministic object destruction). --
