Hi,

I'm running this piece of code, but the memory isn't getting freed (as judging
from Task Manager). It doesn't help if I call collect() and minimize() in a
loop... is something wrong? Or is Task Manager not a reliable indicator of this?

Thank you!


import std.stdio;
import core.memory;
import core.thread;

void writelnflush(T...)(T args) { writeln(args); stdout.flush(); }
void allocate() { new byte[1024 * 1024 * 64]; }

void main()
{
	writelnflush("Sleeping (check the memory usage!)...");
	Thread.sleep(4 * 10000000);
	writelnflush("Allocating...");
	allocate();
	writelnflush("Collecting...");
	GC.collect();
	GC.minimize();
	writelnflush("Sleeping (check the memory usage!)...");
	Thread.sleep(4 * 10000000);
}

Likely there is no hard official statement. However,
http://www.digitalmars.com/NewsGroup.html states that it is for "Bug
reports for D compiler and library". Those use Bugzilla for bug reports,
and free-floating posts in the newsgroup are not tracked like those in
Bugzilla, giving them a lot less value.

That's right. It's just not useful to post free floating posts here. Bug
reports 
should go in bugzilla.
