The manual section about interfacing from c states that

however, I face this strange case:
- C declaration:
char identifier[64];
- D declaration:
char[64] identifier;
- the result is only correct if i slice by (- pointer size):
char[64] fromC(char[64] * thing)
{
const offs = size_t.sizeof;
return thing[-offs.sizeof .. $-offs];
}
Is this correct ?
That's looking pretty wonky. You're slicing a pointer to a
fixed-size array. Why have you declared the parameter as a
pointer? What problem are you trying to solve? It would help a
bit to see the declaration of the C function that's giving you
the array.
It looks like it's here:

However i haven't spent the time to dive in there since i'm not a
C guy at all.
