  Hey I was wondering which platforms D works on, and more 
specifically which ones it can work together with C++11(so not 
DMD C++ since that isn't C++11(I think)).

  To my knowledge...

Windows - Yes can build a D DLL and call it from C++
Linux - Yes ^
MacOS - Yes ^

iOS - I don't think iOS allows use of a DLL? So this might 
require the C++/D to be statically linked? I think this might be 
possible with GCD/GCC?

Android - Android lets you have DLL's so I think this works..

Windows Metro(x86) - No dynamic linking, C++/cx is only support 
on MS C++ compiler. Can perhaps use DMD 64 bit upcoming support 
to statically link it in...?

Windows RT(ARM) - No dynamic linking, C++/cx is only support on 
MS C++ compiler. Is 32 bit right now so I think it is possible to 
use D with C++ here? Am I wrong? And DMD doesn't support ARM that 
I know of..

Are there any issues with D's runtime on any of these 
platforms(ie not supported..)?

Console platforms might work if they support GCC compiler?


Thanks

GDC is only a frontend for gcc, so if you do some magic you might be 
able to get D to work on any platform that gcc can support. But only if 
you manage to get the d runtime running on that platform.

I know that someone managed to get gdc to work with android and partly 
ported druntime over to android.

For consoles I don't really know, but I think that it will be rader hard 
to get it working there.
