Hi
I did:
immutable uint MemSize=100; // Memory size in bytes.
// Memory Pool
ubyte[MemSize] MemPool = 8;
And had a look in memory.
I think the compiler set up 101 '8's, not 100 in memory.
Which I did not expect.
Best regards
When I look there are 100. What makes you think there are 101?
I printed bytes from &MemPool[0] to just beyond &MemPool[99}.
When you look beyond the bounds of where you have access to,
you are bound to see just about anything.
The answer is no, the compiler does not write to memory beyond
the 100 elements. That memory *might* happen to have an 8 in
there. That's not proof of anything though.

I entirely agree - I wasn't saying anything was wrong, but I
_was_ surprised.
Not least because it's not chance, I changed the initial value
and the effect repeated with the new value.
