I don't know what the state of those functions is, but the GC can't handle
shared libraries at this point. I believe that that's the main reason why
shared libraries are a no-go at this point. And with a problem like that, it
seems to me like a _really_ bad idea to try and use them. If I were you, I'd
keep away from them until druntime was fixed to properly support them. That's
certainly what I intend to do.
The state is that they're only implement on Windows:
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/druntime/blob/master/src/rt/dmain2.d#L122
About D shared libraries, this is what's missing:
The runtime need to collect the following from all loaded images (shared
libraries and executables) and all that are loaded during program execution:
* Exception handling tables
* Ranges scanned by the GC
* TLS data
There are more issues than listed above that I can remember right now.
