Thanks for the explanation Steve.
Can you please give me a correct example of:
- creating a dynamic string array
auto arr = new char[N];
N can be a runtime value.
- looping over it and adding values
Not sure what you mean here.
- discarding/releasing the array from memory
correct:
arr = null; // GC should collect
dangerous:
GC.free(arr.ptr);
Due to conservative GC, you may need to explicitly free memory for
practical reasons (e.g. if GC doesn't seem to collect the data you
release).
This problem is MUCH less prevalent on 64-bit, since the memory space is
quite sparse.
