Anyone,

Can D build binaries which are linkable from C?  In other words can I link a bottom level D module/library etc. to a top level C program?

Mark.

I can't see any reason why not, so long as you are using C-compatible types, i.e. ptrs not arrays, etc.

It is necessary to initialise the D runtime (GC, etc.) from the C environment. Then it is necessary to use extern(C) convention in D. Then write headers. Gets more cumbersome than not.

For more information on initialising and shutting down the runtime, see manual chapter on using WinMain entry point in D...
