Unfortunately no. Maybe the cast would even make it work, but I
can't have "A" and "_A" in D as separate types, because the
class is supposed to link to C++ functions and thus renaming it
from A to _A breaks that. On the other hand I can't give the
struct another name either, because that's how it is linked to
in "CppFunc".
The easiest workaround is probably to set the mangling manually:
pragma(mangle, "_Z7CppFuncRK1A")
extern(C++) void CppFunc(const A arg);
This mangling is for the Itanium ABI, which is used by Linux and
other operating systems. It needs to be different for Windows.
