A function pointer &foo should point actual function body code. But foo does not have body. Therefore it fails to link.

Supplying body code to foo will fix the issue.

int foo(int x, long y) { return 0; }

Note that, D supports separate compilation model. `int foo(int x, int y);` is a
function declaration without its definition (== function body code), similar
to:

// A C lib function declaration
extern(C) int printf(const char* fmt, ...);

So it's not a mistake in the example code is.

Thanks, I am trying to learn D. :) Trying examples to see what they do.
