Andrei mentions in this talk, that C++ support is implemented to the extent, when you can pass std::vector from C++ to D and in the opposite direction without friction. Are the any pointers on how I can try it out? Like, is it in git master? Where can I find a documentation or an article about that? The corresponding section on the site (http://dlang.org/cpp_interface.html) says:
 D templates have little in common with C++ templates, and it is 
 very unlikely that any sort of reasonable method could be found 
 to express C++ templates in a link-compatible way with D.
 This means that the C++ STL, and C++ Boost, likely will never 
 be accessible from D.
And I assume this is no longer true. So, anywhere I can look for it?

I got interested in the very same part.

Take a look here [1] and here [2] You must use the current git master (Digger [3] can help you with an easy build of it). Note that some template mangling are still broken, and there are problems with the pass-by-ref, but, well, somehow it works! https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/blob/master/test/runnable/cppa.d https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/blob/master/test/runnable/extra-files/cppb.cpp https://github.com/CyberShadow/Digger --- /Paolo
