digitalmars.D - When is invariant created?

I don't have any invariant on my classes
however all the methods make a call to 

_D9invariant12_d_invariantFC6ObjectZv

and a loop is executed there

what's that for?

Because invariants are inherited, a default invariant is created if there isn't a user supplied one, and that default will call the base class' invariant. Compiling with -release will turn that off.
