--- Comment #1 from ag0aep6g@gmail.com ---
This is a bug in the GC profiler. The array is not relocated. You can check by comparing the pointers:

----
void main()
{
    int[] arr;
    arr.length = 7;
    int* p = arr.ptr;
    arr.length = 6;
    assert(arr.ptr == p); /* passes */
}
----

I'm changing the title of this issue accordingly.

Maybe the reallocation function is called and returns the same buffer. But why call it in the first place, if reducing array length is supposed to be _equivalent_ to slicing?

--- Comment #3 from RazvanN <razvan.nitu1305@gmail.com> ---
Running the example today yields:

bytes allocated, allocations, type, function, file:line
             32»              1»int[] D main test.d:3

So this seems to have been fixed by: https://github.com/dlang/druntime/pull/2607
