To cut things short, even after giving it a lot of thought I
still feel uncomfortable about garbage collection. I'm
wondering whether it is viable to use the same smart pointer
techniques as in C++: is there an implementation already of
such smart pointers? Can I switch off GC in my D programs
altogether? How much does the standard library rely on GC? I.e.
would I have to write a alternative standard library to do this?
std.typecons.RefCounted!T
core.memory.GC.disable();
Phobos does rely on the GC to some extent. Most algorithms and
ranges do not though.
