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.
Sounds like a bug - if the pointer is not into GC memory then the
GC shouldn't touch it.
