You don't want to take the address of a temporary, not with 
structs nor int. But you could copy it with *i = Struct(params) 
and that should be ok. There's also std.conv.emplace that might 
be useful.

And bearophile is right too, of course, that it will need a cast 
on malloc.

Struct* i = cast(Struct*) malloc(Struct.sizeof);
