It seems you are being confused by the difference between 
reference and value types. See this article for an explaination 
on the difference: http://www.albahari.com/valuevsreftypes.aspx

That article is for C# but it's mostly the same behavior as D. 
Dynamic arrays are reference types in D; ints are value types.
