I can create a "slice" using non-gc allocated memory.
int* ptr = cast(int*)calloc(int.sizeof, 10);
int[] data = ptr[0..10];
If I don't want a memory leak I have to call free(ptr) somewhere
as it won't be GC collected when data or ptr go out of scope. I
presume there is nothing wrong with doing the above, other than
perhaps there being better ways (and the memory leak if not
free'd)
If I then write this :-
data ~= 1;
What happens? It seems to successfully append an extra value to
the array. It appears to "work" when I try it in my compiler but
I don't understand how. Will this be trying to write beyond the
memory I calloc'ed?
