just replace GC with stub doing only allocs (or use GC.disable) and
manage resource freeing manually (or with corresponding templated
struct wrappers).
One issue with this is e.g. hashtables have no primitive for freeing
entries.
In D having deterministic resource release is harder because
scoped ownership is less polished than in C++.
but why?! see 'scoped' to scope allocations. and, for example, 'File',
which is refcounted internally. plus 'scope()' finalizers.
i'm pretty sure that scoped ownership in D at least on par with C++, if
not better and simplier either to write, to read and to use.
of course, you'll loose such nice features as closures and slices, but
hey, C++ doesn't have them too! ok, C++11 has lambdas, and i don't know
if D lambdas can work without GC and don't leak.
They don't use GC if scoped.
