           Summary: Weird behavior of appender with File as the element...
                    do not know exactly where the bug resides.
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Platform: x86_64
        OS/Version: Windows
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: druntime
        AssignedTo: nobody puremagic.com
        ReportedBy: maidenphil hotmail.com

So I just found some weird behavior while using std.array.Appender in
conjunction with std.stdio.File.

The attachment shows it best but, simply put:
auto app = appender!( File[] )();
foreach( i = 0; i < dontMatter; ++i ) {
  app.put( stdout );
}

Crashes. Of course, my real life needs did not include copying stdout, but
rather filling an array with files using the appender.

Issue is in appender, that doesn't properlly construct objects when inserting
them, it merely assign them.

There is an existing pull that already fixes this:
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/phobos/pull/1529

That said, putting things with destructors (such as File) is a *terrible* idea,
as things put inside dynamic arrays are never "finalized" (destroyed). So
basically, you'll never close your files.

Prefer using std.container.Array: Not only does this correctly construct your
objects, it will also deterministically manage their lifecycle.

TY for filing the issue.

Good to know regarding the never finalized objects/structs. I am thankful for
this information. I will give std.container.Array a try, thank you!
