digitalmars.D.learn - stack out of scope ?

Why doesn't this program dups core ?
Is s not recycled ?
```
import std.stdio:writeln;
void main(){
//I point to the heap
int[] p=[1,2,3];	
	{
		int[3]s=[1,2,3];
		//I point to the stack
		p=s;
	}
	//Why do I still live ?
	writeln(p[0]);

This works also,

ldc2 understands `-dip1000`. It also understands the newer `-preview=dip1000`. More importantly, the code needs to be safe. system code is not checked for this kind of error.

the flag dip1000 was not shown in the help file.
And indeed for the second program compiling with dip1000 results 
in,
test.d(6): Error: scope variable r may not be returned

But the first program still compiles and runs without problem, 
even with dip1000.

Thanks. Alot of info,but the flag dip1000 is not show in help 
hidden.

The solution seems to be compiling with flag dip1000 and putting 
 safe on top on the file then all the errors are catched by the 
compiler.

Or put ` safe:` at the top of the file.
 When not ?
Sometimes when you need to perform a system operation that you know is safe, but the compiler cannot prove is safe. Or you need to call a system function (e.g. a C library). T -- Маленькие детки - маленькие бедки.

Trying safe is painfull in practice. Large parge of functions are not safe and call functions which are not safe. Only tiny end-subroutines i can put safe.

To answer your question, why does this not dump core, it's because you didn't access memory that was invalid. Stack memory, like most computer memory, is allocated in chunks to the program. The OS typically allocates pages at a time per request for it. Which means, even though the memory isn't technically in scope, it's not going to cause a segmentation fault (this is a hardware fault saying you accessed an address that doesn't exist in your process). In order for a dangling pointer (which is what this is) to cause a seg fault, you have to release that memory back to the OS, and make that address invalid before accessing. D very rarely gives memory back to the OS. The more common problem for dangling pointers is that you access a piece of memory that has since been reallocated to something else, and screw up that something (generally a pointer). -Steve
