Greetings!

I have a program with a function downloads a bunch of xml as one huge string (char[]) and splits that xml into pieces and return a char[][] array.  What happens to that huge string after that function returns the array?

thanks,

josé

If nothing outside the function references the long string, then it is garbage collected.

Indeed, this is a good example of the type of program for which D will be _the_ superlative language.

Man, if you use words like that in your books, I'm gonna have to be sure to keep a dictionary handy :P

I do. And that's one of the mild ones! ;)

Ah, Matthew the sesquipedalian author.

Matthew likes big words. "Superlative" is indeed a mild one.

I don't think it's always appropriate ;-), but it's good exercise for the brain; I know I'm frequently looking up words on the internet dictionary after reading his posts.

He also likes using slang and colloquial language, the definitions for which I've sometimes never found!

Quite the guy!

FMI: is Honk! a widely recognised thing?

In case it's not: it represents the noise of a goose, for when one, or one's correspondent, is being a goose. It's particularly attractive for the reason that it is impossible to emit a Honk! that contains any malice.
