Hi All,

is it possible to see the reference counting of a char[]?

I have some problems with PullParser (tango). 
I put an assertion here:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
        private XmlTokenType doAttributeName()
        {
                auto p = text.point;
                auto q = p;
                auto e = text.end;

                assert (p < e, "No!!! text.point is after text.end!!");
                
                char[] tmp = "";
                while (*q > 63 || text.attributeName[*q])
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The assert will be broken 1-2 times, when I run a same test 1000 times.

So I want to know about the inside world of D-Compiler.


Best regards

Almost certainly no. D Uses a mark-and-sweep GC not a ref counting one, so 
there isn't a reference count.

sorry to have heard about that.
I am now suffering from debugging D programs in linux (opensuse).

Yeah, I hear a lot of people suffer from that these days ;)
