I created a nogc array handler struct, and I would like to use it as a shared array.

I can only easily find anything related to it for simple built-in types, let alone for slices. If at least I could use slices directly, it would be a great help (lock write access in a synchronized scope, then only read from the slice).

Your question is not very clear.

You cannot find anything related to what? To using shared?

You also didn't clarify what you mean by 'use it as a shared array'. Do you mean you want to make an instance of your struct shared? You can do that by casting it to shared and away from shared (as long as you manually ensure thread safety with mutexes, or simply pass it to a different thread and discard the original):

struct S{}

shared S s;

void main(){
	S sLocal;
	s = cast(shared)sLocal;
}

If you're asking how you can make your implementation shared, that's much more complicated and I wouldn't recommend it unless you know what you're getting into. shared functions are rarely implemented outside of things like synchronisation primitives (e.g. mutexes).
