I am trying to compile the following code in D

}

but I get the following error

../src/lv2/plugin.d(38): Error: escaping reference to local plugin

What is the right way to create a class instance and a return it as a  
pointer? Also in such a way that it is not claimed by GC. There is  
another callback for object deletion.


try
return cast(void*)new Bleep(sample_rate, features);
