While D is binary compatible with C code, it cannot compile C code nor C header files.
In order to use C/C++ binary libs， I have to convert C or C++ header files to D module.
It make very difficult to use C binary libs.
Can D compiler support C/C++ source code in future?
If can, it will become easy and convenient to use C/C++ libs in Dlang.
Hope to achieve it as soon as possible!

No we won't implement a C/C++ compiler. A few people are working on
conversion tools (search the forum).
Many bindings are already available, see http://code.dlang.org.
