Does the D GC know the complete function call stack of the C program all

does the D GC can only know the value of the stack pointer at the time
rt_init() was called. If the latter, then I think a toStringz string may
not be alive in a C function.

I'm tired, so here is the code related to your questions.
Note: the GC will use this abstraction for dealing with stack frames
(otherwise it would be duplicated).
