On the stack yes. But not on the heap:

     S[] s = new S[17];
     s = null;

the GC will collect the memory eventually, but without calling 
any destructor.

On the other hand:

     class C { S s; }
     C c = new c;
     c = null;

in this case, when the gc collects the memory, it will call both 
destrcutors. The one of C as well as of S.
