Hi,

Is there any way I can tell the GC that a block of memory does not 
contain any possible pointers (in)to other GC-managed memory?

Everything about the GC should be in the core.memory module. I think what you need is removeRange(). Or you can specify the same if you allocate the memory explicitly: int * p = cast(int*)GC.calloc(100, GC.BlkAttr.NO_SCAN); Ali
