I have the following C struct from ldap.h

typedef struct ldapmod {
	int	mod_op;
	char *mod_type;
	union mod_vals_u {
		char **modv_strvals;
		struct berval **modv_bvals;
	} mod_vals;
#define mod_values	mod_vals.modv_strvals
#define mod_bvalues	mod_vals.modv_bvals
} LDAPMod;

It is used like this:
LDAPMod title;
title.mod_values = x;

I wonder how can I write the line 'title.mod_values = x;' in D.
Currently I do like this:
	
struct ldapmod {
	int	mod_op;
	char* mod_type;
	union mod_vals_u {
		char**  modv_strvals;
		berval** modv_bvals;
	}
	mod_vals_u mod_vals;
}
alias ldapmod LDAPMod;

LDAPMod title;
title.mod_vals.modv_strvals = x;

A pair of  property functions would work, one of which may be unnecessary:

alias int berval;

struct ldapmod {
     int    mod_op;
     char* mod_type;
     union mod_vals_u {
         char**  modv_strvals;
         berval** modv_bvals;
     }
     mod_vals_u mod_vals;

     char** mod_values()  property
     {
         return mod_vals.modv_strvals;
     }

     void mod_values(char** value)  property
     {
         mod_vals.modv_strvals = value;
     }

     // similarly for mod_bvalues...
}
alias ldapmod LDAPMod;

void main()
{
     LDAPMod title;
     char** x;
     // title.mod_vals.modv_strvals = x;
     title.mod_values = x;
}
