Quick question: I have a SDL_Surface in one of my classes and
the SDL_Surface contains (obviously) memory to the pixel data.
Since I cannot free this memory with the DTor: what will
happen? AFAIK this cannot be freed by the GC because it was
not allocated by it. So AFAIK this creates a memory leak. Am I
right?
Why can't you free the memory from the destructor?
Every time I tried this, I got this:
core.exception.InvalidMemoryOperationError
I do not know if I get that, because the GC has already cleaned
this store or because of something else.
