First of all thank you for the D programming language. I am still scoping it out but it looks quite impressive.

I was looking for a way to call a D function from within C as part of a callback routine. Any suggestions on how to do this?

In D, make a function and compile it with C linkage, like so:

extern(C) void fork()
{

}

Then give the address of that function to your C function..

someCFunctionThatTakesAFunctionPointer(&fork);

And it should work.

If you're looking to make a DLL or library in D that can be used in C, that's another story.
