I had some segfaults that I suspected where generated by trying to use objects that were already collected by the GC. So I place a gc.FullCollect on my code and now I'm sure. It's a pitty that to use D now I'm gonna have to read the pages on GC and memory model and ... I'm writting higher level apps I don't need to know. To make D accessible to more users this needs to be corrected. Anyone wrote something else on the GC (ok, ok, I'll browse the links...) We need another D group for applications. I'm embaraced posting these questions here and getting no response at all... Ant

It's a pitty that to use D now I'm gonna have to read the pages on GC and memory model and ... I'm writting higher level apps I don't need to know.Agreed. I've not yet written sufficiently complex apps such that I can determine whether or not having a mandatory GC is an issue. Nonetheless, if we must have it, then it certainly should work seemlessly, and higher level code should not need to worry. I would think/hope that this is merely a wrinkle that needs to ironed out of the implementation, rather than a fundamental flaw. Let's hope so, anyway!To make D accessible to more users this needs to be corrected.Indeed. I'd be surprised if Walter doesn't jump all over this asap. He tends not to like these embarassing ones ...Anyone wrote something else on the GC (ok, ok, I'll browse the links...) We need another D group for applications.Agreed. We definitely need more D groups.

(If anybody wants to know my problem was by having references to objects stored through externel C functions, prety dumb,hey? I did have a "todo" comment to remove that... I guess I was surprise the thing worked on the first place) I do have a public 'thank you' on my D projects web pages, but somehow I feel I need to thank you again, if there is any doubt here it is: thanks for D!

Were you using linux? I had to recompile libphobos.a in order to get any GC at all, so maybe that would help. good luck, Ben "Ant" <Ant_member pathlink.com> wrote in message news:bmkua1$1ohe$1 digitaldaemon.com...I had some segfaults that I suspected where generated by trying to use objects that were already collected by the GC.

Maybe that's why the error didn't show up in the first place! Maybe that's why an earlier test creating 20_000 or 500_000 objects (depending on the object, can't remeber the exact numbers) would crash an application! I do recompile phobos for tests sometimes...
