My sense is that putting it on the GC heap gives the struct

It doesn't matter what heap it is on, you are just using a
pointer here.
Struct pointers in D will automatically dereference with a.x,
so no need for the * there (in most cases), and assigning it to
another pointer of course still points to the same object, so
it will affect both.
If you want a copy, you can use a special method to allocate a
new one or use auto a = *b; which will copy it to the stack.
Thanks for the reply!
