digitalmars.D.learn - Object removing own last reference.

    objects[_index] = null;

    //other critical code
    memberFunc();
    externalFunc();
  }
  void memberFunc(){yay++}
}

Is there anything unsafe about his code? Like the GC removing the Object
before calling memberFunc..

Hi,

Shouldn't be as 'this' will keep the object alive as long as necessary.

A reference to it will still be on the stack, so it should be no problem.
