Can I embed the D compiler into my application? For example:

Dcompiler c;
Dcompiler::result *r = c.compile("mySource.d");
fstream f("result.bin");
f.write(r->GetBuffer(),r->GetNBytes());

And other doubt... where's the Solaris port for the D compiler? I see only Windows, linux, freeBSD and MacOSX.

thx.

Short answer: No.

Long answer: Several people have been asking for this, and there has been at least one implementation.

The Phobos changelog implies the next D1 release will have Dolaris support. D2 support is on hold due to other drastic changes. Regardless, LDC is a good recommendation; it supports a lot of platforms dmd does not. I'm still hoping for 64 bit support in dmd.
