I've just found out[1] this[2]:
The garbage collector is not guaranteed to run the destructor for
all unreferenced objects.
Is there any reason why D can't guarantee that all finalizers will be
called, at least when the program ends?
Well, a couple of quick tests show that under normal situations (i.e.
normal program termination and termination from an exception) the
finalizers do run (D2). However, if a finalizer throws an exception, then
the rest of the finalizers aren't called. Also, if you call
std.c.stdlib.exit, the finalizers won't run.
