How does one determine the sizeof (in bytes) of an instance of a class in D?
.sizeof works as advertised for structs, but for reference types,
.sizeof yields the sizeof the referencing variable (effectively same as size of
a pointer)
and not the size of the underlying instance.
As Jarrett said, x.classinfo.init.length is the simplest way in D1.
I did try scanning the NG and read spec_D1.00.pdf. Perhaps I missed it in the
latter.
I guess that PDF is horribly outdated, although it may work for some
purposes.
btw. I was poking under the hood of std.xml and though, wow, instances of
Element
class look humongous, and so I'm interested to how exactly how humongous.
Wasn't std.xml for D2? Anyway, last what I remember is that std.xml is
unmaintained, slow, buggy, and shouldn't be seriously used.
Thanks for all help.
