The content of RbArray won't be released at the moment of 
deleting an RbArray.

Why?  Is it a bug?

 Why?
It's probably only releasing the memory for RbArray and not what it refers to. m_objects is a dynamic array, and so it's memory is elsewhere on the heap rather than being part of RbArray itself. So, it probably doesn't get released when the RbArray is deleted.
  Is it a bug?
Even if it were, it wouldn't get fixed. delete is being removed from the language. You really shouldn't be using it. - Jonathan M Davis

Just use GC.collect() from core.memory when cleaning up internals of extremely large objects is too troublesome. -- Alex Rønne Petersen alex lycus.org http://lycus.org
