I just checked it on Linux. ClassInfo.find can't find the

Dynamic libraries are not completely implemented yet in D. I
expect this to work when the implementation is complete.
BTW, which version are you using. git HEAD has some new
functionality in this area.
Now I also did this on Windows using Runtime.loadLibrary instead
of dlopen, but result is same. I have 2.062 on Linux and 2.063 on
Windows. Ok, I need to update to check out the actual status.
Even if it would be possible to create instances of classes using
ClassInfo, I still think phobos needs module to load functions at
runtime. Especially it concerns functions with mangled names
(i.e. all extern(D) functions). C++ frameworks usually deal only
with extern "C" functions because C++ mangling is not
standardized and therefore it depends on current compiler. D
however can provide same rules for all compilers. In my project
I've implemented 'mangle' function by hand but I have not
properly test it yet. Well, D has .mangleof but it's compiletime
only. We need official runtime version that allows to write
things like:
auto func = lib.getDFunction!FunctionType
("package_name.module_name.function_name");
