          Issue ID: 16824
           Summary: std.experimental.allocator.dispose leaks memory for
                    arrays of more than 1 dimension
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Hardware: x86_64
                OS: Windows
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: phobos
          Assignee: nobody puremagic.com
          Reporter: atila.neves gmail.com

The program below throws an AssertError due to memory leaks when calling
dispose with a 2D array. dispose works fine with a 1D array. The issue is there
for all N-D arrays where N > 1 (it's easy to get a 3D one with string[][]). A
simple fix is to check in the dispose for arrays whether or not the elements
are also arrays and recurse.

The output for the program:

+ Allocated  ptr 544880 of 16 bytes length
+ Allocated  ptr 544640 of 24 bytes length
+ Allocated  ptr 544EA0 of 24 bytes length
- Deallocate ptr 544880 of 16 bytes length

core.exception.AssertError allocator.d(42): Memory leak in TestAllocator.
Allocations: [ByteRange(544640, 24), ByteRange(544EA0, 24)]

                     " allocations: ", _allocations));
        _allocations = _allocations.remove!pred;

    TestAllocator allocator;

    auto ints2d = allocator.makeArray!(int[])(2);
    foreach(ref ints1d; ints2d)
        ints1d = allocator.makeArray!(int)(3);

    allocator.dispose(ints2d);
}
