    Which is capable of directly linking + invoking most C++ things (except constructors/destructors, it can't handle those, you need a function which calls the constructor from within C++) just given a type definition.

    Then you have "d++", which lets you "#include" C/C++ headers. Under the hood tries to run an automatic syntax conversion. It can't handle but for simple code it works and can spit out the equivalent D.

    Also you've got "dstep", which is "A tool for converting C and Objective-C headers to D modules"

    https://github.com/jacob-carlborg/dstep

    And finally you have the somewhat abandoned (but as far as I know mostly functional) Calypso, which is a fork of the LLVM-based D compiler that supports direct interop with C++. It's a pain to build though, haven't gotten around to trying to build it, but it does look wicked cool:

    https://github.com/Syniurge/Calypso

        pragma (cppmap, "cppheader.h");  // tells Clang to parse cppheader.h but do not import anything

    dpp* can't do function definitions yet but for declarations it's as easy as #including a C header file natively.
