It's scoped!T's destructor. If you decide to use that 
workaround, you should probably copy scoped!T from std.typecons 
and have your own version. It's not safe in all cases, and the 
next standard library update might break it.

In your case, scoped!T is can be safely called from @nogc code, 
and thus could be marked @nogc. However, when a class C has a 
destructor that allocates, scoped!C could not be @nogc. So in 
order to be safe in all cases, it can't be @nogc in the general 
case.

Sadly, even std.typecons.scoped isn't currently @nogc:

First thanks :)

i understand the part with scopedAnon, but can you explain what 
the ~this is referring to?

Is it the Modul destructor?

And in general is it just that scoped is just not marked @nogc 
or is it that it would really need to use the gc?

Hey,
wanted to know whether it is possible to make anonymous nogc 
classes:


interface I
{
public void ap();
}
void exec(I i)
{
i.ap;
}

// now execute, but with something like `scope`
exec( new  class  I
{
int tr = 43;
override void ap(){tr.writeln;}
});

Thanks :)

https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13972
https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17592

This can be worked around by casting scoped's destructor to be 
@nogc, but that's a heavy-handed approach that ruins type safety, 
and is the wrong solution in non-@nogc situations. Should you 
want to, this is what it should look like:


~this()
{
(cast(void delegate(T) @nogc)((T t){
// `destroy` will also write .init but we have no 
functions in druntime
// for deterministic finalization and memory 
releasing for now.

.destroy(t);
}))(Scoped_payload);
}

If and when this issue is resolved, this should work:

interface I {
public void ap();
}

void exec(I i) {
i.ap;
}

auto scopedAnon(T)(lazy T dummy) if (is(T == class)) {
import std.typecons;
return scoped!T();
}

unittest {
auto i = scopedAnon(new class I {
int tr = 43;
override void ap() {
import std.stdio;
tr.writeln;
}
});
exec(i);
}
