Remo:
unique_ptr<T> is helpful in 90% of the time.
shared_ptr<T> is necessary in may be another 9%.
Memory pool is helpful in another cases.
And only in 0.1% case GC is really needed. :)
Are you forgetting the RefCount?
But I use D because it has a GC and it doesn't look like C++, I
am not writing device drivers or an operating system, I am OK
with a language less efficient than C++ if it gives easier to
write code, more compact code, less noisy code, much less
bug-prone code.
In C++11 you have over-engineered lambdas because there is no GC,
D GC rely on the GC and sometimes allocate on the heap. I don't
want the very bad syntax and semancits of C++ lambdas in D.
Closures and lambdas are quite common in the D code I write. How
do you concatenate built-in arrays without GC? And so on...
So how about memory pool for D ?
It there already one ?
Andrei is working a lot on them. They look very good.
