Of course:
----
void main() {
import core.stdc.stdlib : malloc, free;
auto ptr = cast(char[]) malloc(42);
}
----
I guess it should be:
auto ptr = cast(char*)malloc(42)[0 .. 42];
That would work, but I did it on purpose. I wanted to test
whether such dangerous code compiles or whether the compiler is
smart enough and hits the alarm.
