I don't have a good grasp of the difference between the way D
and C work
for char * types.
Strings in C are arrays of chars ending with the nul
terminator. Strings
in D are not required to be nul terminated. String literals in
D *are*
nul terminated. When passing a string to a C function that
takes const
char*, use toStringz as Ali showed in his post.
Forgot to mention -- toStringz in std.string will add the nul
terminator if it is not already there.

Thank you very much. Because of your help, my application has far
fewer seg faults and core dumps.
Now, if I can just figure out why the SDL_RenderPresent call is
having problems. I suspect that has more to do with the way I'm
using the library than the calling convention.
