digitalmars.D - class .sizeof

For making the GC precise, I need to be able to get at the size of a class
instance at compile time.  The .sizeof property returns the size of a
reference, i.e. (void*).sizeof.  I need the amount of bytes an instance uses.

Not sure if it's what you're after, but there is something called __traits(classInstanceSize,T). -Lars

Yep, that's it. For some reason I didn't think to look there.
