The problem the OP has is he is casting buffer to a char *. He should
just use buffer.ptr.

Casting a string to char* is exactly the same as using the .ptr
property, as far as generated code is concerned.

Not when a string is defined internally as struct { size_t length; immutable(char)* ptr; }. Casting to char* is a pointer to the start of the length, not the pointer.

Try it.
