"The D Programming Language" (TDPL) p.178 asserts the following.

I take this to mean that the D garbage collector doesn't move live
objects and adjust all references to them the way that some garbage
collectors do. That is to say, the addresses of objects are not changed
by the garbage collector.
Does D guarantee this?
The current D GC does guarantee this. Some future collectors might not,
but there will always be implementations that guarantee it.
