In D malloc needs a cast void -> T*.


In D a wrapper like this could help you avoid some mistakes 
making the code more DRY (untested):


T* cMalloc(T)() nothrow {
     return cast(T*)malloc(T.sizeof);
}

T* cCalloc(T)(in size_t n) nothrow {
     return cast(T*)calloc(n, T.sizeof);
}


auto i = cMalloc!int;
auto j = cCalloc!int;
