I need to pass around some objects(specifically int[]) that

Since many objects may contain a ptr to the array, what would
be the best way to deal with deallocating them? I could wrap
the array in a collection an use ARC but is there a better way?
Is there something in std.allocators that can help?
(Should be obvious that I'm trying to avoid the GC)
Why you do not use one of this way:
- const ref int[]… into function parameter
- using shared/synchronized and ref to array
It would seem if I am going to use some way it needs to be
consistent. The first case would require creating []'s outside of
the function which then doesn't solve the original problem.
I'm not sure how the second case solves anything?
