I have a problem when calling D functions from C. While I can
perform simple arithmetic operations (i.e. the calculation is
performed in D and returned to C), I experience problems when
trying to perform string/char operations or call functions from
the D standard library (e.g. writefln()). The usual error message
I get is either "Bus error" or "Segmentation fault". I haven't
been able to find the reason for this. The programs compile and
link, however, when run, they terminate with "Bus error" whenever
a D function is performed within the D code, e.g. something like
char[] s2 = s.dup; (s is a char* passed from C). Any hint or help
would be appreciated.

If C is running your application startup, you must initialize D's
runtime from your C main routine.

Yes, I am using extern (C) and in my C main function I call
gc_init();
thread_attachThis();
This works fine for primitive types such as int + int calculations. But
anything more sophisticated renders a Bus error. I am sure it is just
some little detail I have forgotten.
Don't forget to call this:
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/druntime/blob/master/src/core/runtime.d#L33
Documented here:
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/druntime/blob/master/src/core/runtime.d#L101
More appropriate:
http://dlang.org/phobos/core_runtime.html#initialize
And actually, I think this should do everything necessary. No need to
call gc_init and thread_attachThis().
