digitalmars.D.ldc - Kaleidoscope: Code generation to LLVM IR - D language

Hello everyone,

I am tasked to translate this code: 
https://llvm.org/docs/tutorial/MyFirstLanguageFrontend/LangImpl03.html into D
language.

However, I have a problem with part 3.2. where the following 
appears:
static std::unique_ptr<LLVMContext> TheContext;
static std::unique_ptr<IRBuilder<>> Builder(TheContext);
static std::unique_ptr<Module> TheModule;
static std::map<std::string, Value *> NamedValues;

I am interested in how it is even possible to import things like: 
LLVMContex, IRBuilder and similar.

Disclaimer: I am not involved in any compiler development stuff.

If I understand, you are trying to do what 
[LDC](https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc) does, but not in C++ 
(as LLVM backend of d, LDC, is written in C++), in d instead. 
Then, you need an LLVM binding to d. Here there is one. If this 
is not the case, please ignore my message.
