Hi,

I'm trying to send a delegate to a modified version of druntime's GC as follows:

struct GC {
	static void onCollect(void* dg)
	{
		gc_onCollect(cast(void*)dg);
	}
...


my code:

	extern (C) extern __gshared void collecting(void* p, size_t sz){
		import std.stdio;
		writeln(p, sz);
	}

	GC.onCollect(cast(void*)&collecting);

and the caller in gc.d casts this to a function(void*, size_t) before sending the parameters.

I get the following:

object.Error: Access Violation
----------------
0x00536A9D in gc_onCollect
0x0051FA18 in D2rt6dmain211_d_run_mainUiPPaPUAAaZiZ6runAllMFZ9__lambda1MFZv

0x770B98EE in RtlInitializeExceptionChain
0x770B98C4 in RtlInitializeExceptionChain
There are still tasks running at exit.
Error executing command run: Program exited with code 1

I'm wondering, why doesn't this execute the callback? I've tried many combinations of types but it looks like the pointer isn't accessible...

Thanks!

There isn't enough information here to extract what's going on in your code.
