You have to declare it as a pointer, then retrieve the pointer

and how would you make this source compatible with the static 
binding version?
I guess it is not possible

extern(C):
version(Dynamic) {
    __gshared wl_interface *wl_display_interface;
}
else {
    extern __gshared wl_interface wl_display_interface;
}


// use case: some_func expects a pointer to wl_interface
// the C version is using addressof operator, (as do the static D 
bindings)
some_func(&wl_display_interface);
