digitalmars.D.learn - Sectioned variables?

GCC supports a `__attribute((section("...")))` for variables to 
put them in specific sections in the final assembly. Is there any 
way this can be achieved in D? Does GDC support this?

LDC does, see https://github.com/ldc-developers/druntime/blob/ldc/src/ldc/attributes.d#L166.

GDC should https://github.com/D-Programming-GDC/GDC/blob/master/libphobos/libdruntime/gcc/attribute.d#L30 import gcc.attribute; attribute("section","foo") int bar; is what you want I think (untested) if you are using GDC.
