The destructor doesn't seem to be running

Sorry, I misunderstood you. You can use a RAII object as ketmar said:

import std.stdio;
import std.c.stdlib;

struct Test{
    void* ptr;

    ~this(){
        writeln("free: ",&this);
        free(ptr);
    }
}

void main(){
    auto ptr=cast(Test*)malloc(4);
    writeln("create: ",ptr);

    auto test = Test(ptr);  // <-- The dtor of this object will free
}
