Not necessarily. the way the GC works in D today is whenever any 
thread allocates, it runs the GC functions which might do a 
collection. This is where the destructors run, too.

So a destructor may be run by whatever random thread happened to 
run out of memory and triggered the collection cycle.

structs work basically the same as C++, yes.


I don't know about your third thing...
