I want to write Postgresql extension in D. Currently 
extension can be written in C or C linked languages. Has 
anyone done this or can point me to some code.

Thanks

Did you read this: https://dlang.org/spec/interfaceToC.html ?

Yes, but it's not useful, in Postgesql extension C code needs 
to call D, without GarbageCollection. I am able to do this in 
RustLang but I am not sure how to in D, as it has a GC. Looking 
for examples from the community.

Thanks

I'm not an exert with C nor D. So I might misuderstand the 
issue... You can write a skeleton plugin for postgres in C that 
at init time starts the D runtime. From then on your C skelton 
plugin can call some function in D.
