Re: Deallocate array?

[Matic Kukovec]

Was playing around with the code and found that this WORKS:
(note the "app_temp_array.reserve(50000000);" at the top, without 
this line it doesn't work)

import std.stdio, core.memory, std.cstream, std.array;
void main()
{
        string[] temp_array;
        Appender!(string[]) app_temp_array = appender(temp_array);
        app_temp_array.reserve(50000000);

        for(int i=0;i<50000000;i++)
        {
                app_temp_array.put("aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa");
        }
        
        temp_array = app_temp_array.data;
        
        app_temp_array.clear();
        GC.free(app_temp_array.data); or GC.free(temp_array.ptr);
        GC.collect();
        GC.minimize();
        
        writeln("end");       

        din.getc();
}

The memory usage shrinks from 400MB to 2MB, which is right!
Why?
