how do you allocate/free memory without using the garbage

Use C malloc and free.
Does allocating and freeing memory using `GC.malloc` and
`GC.free` avoid D's garbage collector?
No, an allocation can trigger a collection. D does not have a
scheduled GC, it basically runs the GC when it can't allocate
any more memory from it's pools before it tries to get more
from the OS.
I *think* that @nogc is supposed to mean "Be able to run this
without a GC implemented", not that no collections will run.

Hi all! I will try to ask again(previous two posts still have no
answers) : are there any site/page/docs somewhere to track actual
info about @nogc support in language itself and in phobos
library? Or, at least plans to extend such support?
