Issue ID: 18613
Summary: Documentation: recommended construction/destruction
patterns for manual memory management
Product: D
Version: D2
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P1
Component: dlang.org
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
A colleague couldn't find an article he expected to exist.
I'm posting this on his behalf, because bugzilla doesn't use github login
credentials "yeah I literally clicked twice, was asked for login, closed :P"
```
Coming from C++ I was looking for delete after I did my new. I then found that
there was no delete because of GC.
To stay close to my C++ approach I decided not to use GC which then prompted
the issue, how do I call the dtor + free.
Current solution, make a function myDelete that calls dtor and free by hand.
Could use an article explaining the approach and highlighting pros and cons for
each method. It would also be useful to have a section on what is the preferred
way to do this manual memory management in D and why.
