If DRuntime is not made aware of the thread's existence, the thread will not be stopped by the GC, and the GC might collect memory that the thread is referencing on the stack or in non-GC memory. Anything allocated by the GC would still be scanned.

To inform DRuntime about your thread, you should call thread_attachThis:

https://dlang.org/phobos/core_thread.html#.thread_attachThis

As pointed out in the documentation of thread_attachThis, you might also want to call rt_moduleTlsCtor, to run thread local static constructors. Depending on your usage, this might not be necessary.
