 Please read the spec.
It would be helpful if you could be more specific. * as I wrote in the bug report, why is 'clear' not deprecated even though spec says it should be by december 2012? (and it's also in several phobos modules) * according to http://dlang.org/memory.html, 'If there is a delete(), there should be a corresponding new()' In my example, there is no new() function, so why does it even compile? * according to Jonathan Davis (see email "allocate array with new"): "No. _Never_ use delete. It's going to be deprecated". * in http://dlang.org/deprecate.html#delete, it says delete will be deprecated at a later time. * a number of phobos modules use delete. So all in all the spec is not very clear to me, and maybe to others as well. -- Configure issuemail: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: -------

This was discussed really plenty of times - current garbage collector is not
reenterable. So, if GC during garbage collection calls destructor, you cannot
invoke any operation which directly or indirectly calls the GC.

Clear() and destroy() work because they don't call the GC.
