https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20332 Issue ID: 20332 Summary: associative array clear function should be safe Product: D Version: D2 Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P1 Component: druntime Assignee: nobody puremagic.com Reporter: schveiguy yahoo.com If you look at the implementation of clear, it does not invalidate any items in the array. It just sets to null all the pointers to bucket items. The items themselves remain allocated, and any range that is pointing at a null bucket item will return null for the key or value, causing a null dereference (which is considered safe). --
