at least for 64 bit Linux. Other platforms to follow.

This is what Andrei and I call "enabling" technology, as it opens the door for many more uses of D, in this case better interoperability with existing C++ codebases.

Thanks to everyone who helped out with this, especially Elie, Iain, David and Andrei!

Also looking forward to getting this in GDC and LDC!

Andrei and I feel that better interoperability with C++ is a major strategic feature and advantage for D. As the recent thread with Manu's frustrations in doing it show, we still have a significant way to go. But I hope to push it forward hard in the next few months.

For the fearless who love working under the hood, extending the support to the rest of the platforms is a great way to materially contribute.
