You can very much link to C and C++ code, or have C and C++
code link to your D code, while still using the GC, you just
have to be careful when you send GC memory to external code.
You can even share the same GC between dynamic libraries and
the host application (if both are D and use GC, of course)
using the GC proxy system.
I am speaking without knowing if such thing already exists.
Maybe someone that knows the best way to do so, could write an
article about best practices of using C and C++ code together in
D applications.
So that we could point them to it, in similar vein to the
wonderful article about templates.
