Re: More radical ideas about gc and reference counting

[w0rp via Digitalmars-d]

Removing class destructors would break my DQt library as it 
currently stands, which wraps C++ classes with D classes, Qt uses 
classes for polymorphism, for protected overrides and slots. I 
would have to consider some other means of wrapping C++. It might 
also be confusing for a few people.

So, having said that... I am completely in favour of removing 
class destructors. It's a simple principle. When you have to do 
less work, things can run faster. So I can see removing class 
destructors as a feature leading to reduced pause times. 
Destructors exist only for resource management. Doing resource 
management through GC... is a bad idea.
