How to ensure D code that interoperates with external libraries will
work when a moving gc is eventually used with D? Will i need to add
lots of pinning/unpinning code?
extern(C) external(Foo* foo);
struct Foo
{
}
class Bar
{
Foo foo;
}
main()
{
Foo* foo = new Foo();
// Should foo be pinned before the call?
external(foo);
Bar bar = new Bar();
// Should bar be pinned before the call?
external(&bar.foo);
}
btw, ares seems to provides a moving gc and does have a gc.pin method.
Should i consider looking closer at ares? Thanks
