I'm writing a D wrapper for a C library. I was planning to use
RefCounted structs to control the lifetime of objects created
by this library. Please check the following example:

Foo would be an opaque struct. createFoo() and destroyFoo()
would be implemented in the C library (I know I have to declare
them extern(C), this is just an example).
As you can see, that code prints 'Destroying Foo' twice, with
different pointers. I expected destroyFoo to be called only
once, on the instance created by createFoo(), when the Bar
instance goes out of scope. Current behaviour causes an invalid
pointer to be passed to destroyFoo(). Is this a bug in
RefCounted or am I doing something wrong?
I answered a question related to RefCount on SO

Not written to your specific problem, but may give you the
information you need.
