What's the difference?
Thanks
__xdtor() also calls the __dtor() that are mixed with template
mixins while __dtor() only call the __dtor() that matches to
the normal ~this(){}
Ok thanks.
I don't understand why you would ever want to call __dtor
then...
Indeed. And there's also another one for the field called
__fieldDtor.
is it possible to have only __dtor without also having __xdtor?
Like, if I want to call a struct's destructor, do I have to
check for both, or can I just always check for, and call
__xdtor?
Always use __xdtor unless you know there's no other destructor to
call.
Actually these functions are an implementation details and should
be only used for low level things like custom memory handling.
You can look at core/lifetime.d to see how it's used by the d
runtime.
