Update comments now that LLVM PR3861 has been fixed. However, since conditionally removing the workaround makes the ABI dependent on LLVM version, I reconsidered that. (The same revision of LDC compiling for the same target should probably produce code that follows the same ABI, right?)

module globals1;
extern(C) int printf(char*, ...);

char[] gstr = "hello world";

void main()
{
    printf("%.*s\n", gstr.length, gstr.ptr);
    char[] str = gstr;
    printf("%.*s\n", str.length, str.ptr);
}
