Perhaps that is done in the filling of the array literal, but I would be surprised as this is a GC feature. I only looked at 2.066.1, the runtime implementation did not pass the typeinfo to the GC. _d_arrayliteralTX eventually calls structTypeInfoSize() which, according to https://github..com/D-Programming-Language/druntime/blob/master/src/rt/lifetime.d#L214 <https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/druntime/blob/master/src/rt/lifetime.d#L214>, is used to determine the size of TypeInfo so it can be stored by the GC, as Steven said. Mike Well, I have no control over what the library maintainers in DMD want to do in their runtime, but all is working fine without doing that in my camp.
The change was to make it so struct dtors are called by the GC. -Steve
