This fails today only because of the rt_finalize hook working through void*. If you cut that out...

---
class Foo {
        ~this() @nogc nothrow {}
}

void main() @nogc nothrow {
        scope auto foo = new Foo();
        foo.__xdtor();
}
---

this works today.

.destroy does this if it is an extern(C++) class, but not for a D class. It isn't limited by Object though. I think the templated druntime hooks might make more of a difference here than protoobject.

Being a fellow Turkish, I am curios why his last name is spelled that way. Unless it was sepecially requested by him, I would use the following obviously correct spelling:

 Ahmet Sait Koçak

Ali

That's how it was submitted in the application. I simply copy-pasted.

Must have been an encoding issue with the mail then. I don't mind though.

I updated the blog as soon as I saw Ali's post.

I thought the problem with this was that destructors aren't virtual, so if you write something like this:

---
class Foo {
    ~this() { }
}

class Bar : Foo {
    ~this() { }
}

void main() {
    Foo foo = new Bar();
    foo.__xdtor;
}
---

...then you end up calling Foo's destructor, but not Bar's. That's why rt_finalize uses TypeInfo to look up the destructor for the object's runtime type.
