I'm doing some experiments with ldc2 GC, by instrumenting it and printing basic information (what is allocated and freed)

My first tests are made on this sample :

```
cat test2.d
import core.memory;

class Bar { int bar; }

class Foo {

  this()
  {
    this.bar = new Bar;
  }

  Bar bar;
}


void func()
{
  Foo f2 = new Foo;
}

int main()
{
  Foo f = new Foo;

  func();
  GC.collect();

  return 0;
}

```

When trying to run the instrumented druntime, I get a strange behavior : the first collection (done with GC.collect) doesn't sweep anything (in particular, it doesn't sweep memory allocated in _func()_). The whole sweeping is done when program finish, at cleanup. I don't understand why : memory allocated in _func()_ shouldn't be accessible from any root at first collection, right ?

```
