Bug 13558 – GC.free does not work for array pointers of larger size

Original NG topic : http://forum.dlang.org/post/[email protected] This code does not actually free anything: ``` void main() { ubyte[] result; result.length = 4096; GC.free(result.ptr); } ``` This happens because for larger size blocks capacity is stored in the beginning of the memory block making actual `array.ptr` interior pointer. Interior pointers are ignored by GC.free There are several possible ways for fixing this that are being considered right now.
