Well no, usually you have to pin objects _before_ passing them to
C-land. Pinning is not a automatic process its done manually (or by the
compiler).
BTW, our misunderstandings are rooted here:
http://dlang.org/garbage.html
"Object Pinning and a Moving Garbage Collector
Although D does not currently use a moving garbage collector, by
following the rules listed above one can be implemented. No special
action is required to pin objects. A moving collector will only move
objects for which there are no ambiguous references, and for which it
can update those references. All other objects will be automatically
pinned."
