In a sense. But I don't think the goal is to be able to write
C++ code in
D. It's just to achieve binary compatibility.
Templates in C++ must be declared in header files, and are
rarely present
in libs. You almost never link a template instance.
In the extremely rare event that you want to (I've never wanted
to), it's
not inconceivable that an extern(C++) template with
super-restrictive
template parameter rules could be made to mangle the same as
C++, and then
it truly would be complete :)
I personally have no use for this though... but it's probably
technically
possible.
In Windows you have COM and now WinRT as a C++ ABI of some sort,
what about all the other platforms?
