struct Array(T) if (!is(Unqual!T == bool));

Array type with deterministic control of memory. The memory allocated for the array is reclaimed as soon as possible; there is no reliance on the garbage collector. Array uses malloc, realloc and free for managing its own memory.

This means that pointers to elements of an Array will become dangling as soon as the element is removed from the Array. On the other hand the memory allocated by an Array will be scanned by the GC and GC managed objects referenced from an Array will be kept alive.

Note When using Array with range-based functions like those in std.algorithm, Array must be sliced to get a range (for example, use array[].map! instead of array.map!). The container itself is not a range.

Examples:

typeof may give wrong result in case of classes defining opCall operator https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20589

destructor std.container.array.Array!(MyClass).Array.~this is @system so the unittest is @system too

class MyClass
{
    T opCall(T)(T p)

    }
}
