would someone care to work on updating this?  I understand from Daniel's post in main list that the only thing that doesn't work is special member functions.  that's different from what the documents say, and it is surely something important for D that people are aware of this.

I don't really know C++, so I won't be much good at writing it, otherwise I would have a first stab at it myself.

But I tried with the following toy, which worked fine:

import std.stdio;

extern(C++) struct Test
{
	int i;

	extern(C++) void mutate()
	{
		i+=10;
		//test="goodbye".dup.ptr;
	}
}

extern(C++) void callme(Test* test);

void main(string[] args)
{
	Test test;
	writefln("%s",test);
	test.mutate;
	writefln("%s",test);
	callme(&test);
	writefln("%s",test);
}

#include <stdio.h>

struct Test
{
	int i;
	public:
		void mutate();
};

void callme(struct Test* test)
{
	test->i=(test->i)+1;
	test->mutate();
}
