This is exactly why I asked about it, and even if delete is
explicitly called-- which i believe is deprecated, wouldn't the
runtime fill the space with the default construtor until the GC
decides to remove it? meaning it would be immediatly added back
into the list?
I don't believe that the default constructor is called. I am
pretty sure delete immediately deallocates the object,
deregistering its memory from the gc.
In fact I am 99% sure no constructor is called after delete, it
would cause problems for objects with no default constructor, or
for system related stuff done in constructors, and I haven't seen
anything like that in my X11 work in d.
