What I mean is RAII, smart pointers and destructor's.
What is the proper replacement for std::unique_ptr and
std::shared_ptr in D2 ?
Of course with move support for unique_ptr :)
Ah, I see what you mean now. D has that:
http://dlang.org/phobos/std_typecons.html#.Unique
http://dlang.org/phobos/std_typecons.html#.RefCounted
But they probably need some decent updating for use with @nogc
and more modern D style, though.
Also the Unique pointer also works with std.algorithm.move (in
addition to its "release" method which could be deprecated, I
think... not sure why it needs it when we have
std.algorithm.move).
