to!(char[])() should work just fine, but I believe that you're going to have to have a memory allocation regardless, since a D array can't refer to an arbitrary pointer. A D array and a C/C++ array are two different different things, even though a D array uses a C/C++ array internally. A D array is able to be resized and reallocated and the like in a way that a C/C++ array can't be. - Jonathan M Davis
