Sorry, I misunderstood you. You can use a RAII object as ketmar said:

import std.stdio;
import std.c.stdlib;

struct Test{
     void* ptr;

     ~this(){
         writeln("free: ",&this);
         free(ptr);
     }
}

void main(){
     auto ptr=cast(Test*)malloc(4);
     writeln("create: ",ptr);

     auto test = Test(ptr);  // <-- The dtor of this object will free
}
