What i am looking for is something like the following.

class Foo
{
    int a, b, c;
}

void main() {
    void[] buffer = new void[1024];
    auto foo = createAt!(Foo)(buffer.ptr);
}


Where the createAt!(Foo) creates a class of the type Foo at the
specified pointer.

emplace() is what you are looking for (found inexplicably in std.conv).

Exactly what i wanted :) Thanks for the quick answer!

And yeah... std.conv seems like a wierd place to have this functionallity.
