sending a delegate through extern (C)

[Etienne]

Hi,

I'm trying to send a delegate to a modified version of druntime's GC as 
follows:

struct GC {
        static void onCollect(void* dg)
        {
                gc_onCollect(cast(void*)dg);
        }
...


my code:

        extern (C) extern __gshared void collecting(void* p, size_t sz){
                import std.stdio;
                writeln(p, sz);
        }

        GC.onCollect(cast(void*)&collecting);

and the caller in gc.d casts this to a function(void*, size_t) before 
sending the parameters.

I get the following:

object.Error: Access Violation

0x770B98C4 in RtlInitializeExceptionChain
There are still tasks running at exit.
Error executing command run: Program exited with code 1

I'm wondering, why doesn't this execute the callback? I've tried many 
combinations of types but it looks like the pointer isn't accessible...

Thanks!
