Is there a page somewhere on how to program D without using the 
GC? How do I allocate / free structs / classes on the heap 
manually? New would be GCed memeory wouldnt it? Delete is being 
depreciated?

thanks.

Probably you want to read:

Anyway GC works really good for common software development.

The information is scattered.

Yes.

I don't think you ever want delete when there is .destroy

I notice you avoid GC altogether in dplug. Whats the reason for 
total avoidance as apposed to just avoiding it in the real time 
code?

Not a lot of reason.
It's very recent work, I'm still struggling making threadpool 
works.


OSX. This bug has been fixed in LDC but would require to make 
druntime and phobos a shared library to ship. That makes releases 
3x larger so I went with disabling the runtime instead (one month 
of work and still going...).


products use 2x fewer memory.

All in all it's _painful_ not to use the D runtime, suddenly you 
can't use third-party code, and there is no performance 
enhancement to expect apart from reduced memory usage.

Don't avoid the runtime on principles alone.
