Oh, yeah - I have special trait of bumping against
various low probability things :)
But for sure if this turns you off, I can understand how it can be too
frustrating to learn the new rules.
Show me these rules!
They are here: https://dlang.org/spec/interfaceToC.html#storage_allocation
With the caveat, of course, that the recommendation to "leave a pointer
on the stack" is not as easy to follow as one might think with the
optimizer fighting against that. We need to add a better way to do that
(similar to C# KeepAlive). I made an
[attempt](https://code.dlang.org/packages/keepalive), but I think it's
not guaranteed to work, I've already found ways to prove it fails.
