FWIW, Diamond ( http://github.com/CyberShadow/Diamond ) hooks various GC  
functions, but it's an ugly hack that breaks with multi-threaded programs  
(and the module is D1 and x86-only). A better run-time solution (not  
involving modifying Phobos/druntime) would need a instruction-length  
disassembler.
