how do you allocate/free memory without using the garbage collector?
Use C malloc and free.
Does allocating and freeing memory using `GC.malloc` and `GC.free` avoid D's garbage collector?
No, an allocation can trigger a collection. D does not have a scheduled GC, it basically runs the GC when it can't allocate any more memory from it's pools before it tries to get more from the OS.
I *think* that @nogc is supposed to mean "Be able to run this without a GC implemented", not that no collections will run.
