Note that:

extern (C) void foo(const(char)[]) {}

and `dmd -HC` generates:

template
struct _d_dynamicArray final
{
size_t length;
T *ptr;
...
};
...
extern "C" void foo(_d_dynamicArray< const char > __param_0_);


So hopefully this could happen for extern(C++) too.

@jacob-carlborg updated dlang/dmd pull request #8120 "Fix issue 18716: type
`const(char)[]` can not be mapped to C++" fixing this issue:

- Fix issue 18716: type `const(char)[]` can not be mapped to C++

  D arrays don't have any corresponding type in C++. Instead we mangle
  it as a templated struct with the name `__dslice`, i.e.
  `struct __dslice(T)`, where `T` is the element type of the array. For
  an array of ints it would be mangled as the following type:
  `__dslice!int`.
