I'm trying to understand how to call a C++ library from D.

the Windows Update API.
My goal is rather simple in that I want to detect whether there
is a
reboot pending for the system. To do that I need to call the
ISystemInformation::RebootRequired property but I don't know
how to do
that in D. Information about the call is at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa386098(v=vs.85).aspx.
I have the C++ header and have successfully defined
VARIANT_BOOL,
VARIANT_TRUE, and VARIANT_FALSE. The last bit to do is to
define the
ISystemInterface object itself and the RebootRequired method.
How do I do
that?

From what I understand, the most reliable way currently is to
wrap the C++ API in a C API and then call the C API from D. It's
easy but time consuming and can't be generated currently.
