Maybe try putting `__gshared  bin_ptr = TEST.ptr;` inside a 
`shared static this(){}`?

I mean, write it like:
```d
__gshared  bin_ptr;
shared static this()
{
     bin_ptr = TEST.ptr;
}

__gshared const TEST = import(`onlineapp.d`);


extern(C) void main()
{
}
```

But `bin_ptr` becomes a global in this case :(
