See the following code for an example:

struct Goodbye { msg: ~str }

impl Goodbye: Drop {
    fn finalize(&self) {
        io::println(self.msg);
    }
}

pure fn test() -> Goodbye {
    let x = Goodbye { msg: ~"Good" };
    let _y = Goodbye { msg: ~"Bad" };
    return x;
}

fn main() {
    io::println("Before");
    let _z = test();
    io::println("After");
}

Result:

Before
Bad
After
Good
