And how does calling destroy/delete in a struct destructor differ from
doing the same in a class destructor? I too would like to make sure I am
not getting any memory leaks!
Because there are guarantees how and when a destructor for a struct is
called. You cannot rely on a destructor for a class when it's called, in
what order they are called or if they're called at all.
import std.stdio;
struct Foo
{
~this () { writeln("destroying Foo"); }
}
class Bar
{
~this () { writeln("destroying Bar"); }
}
void foobar ()
{
auto foo = Foo();
auto bar = new Bar();
// the destructor of "foo" _will always_ be called here
// the destructor of "bar" _may_ be called here
}
void main ()
{
foobar();
}
