COM is the natural choice when interfacing native code on Windows with 
C#. On other platforms it might be different.

The semantic engine in Visual D is separated into another process and 
communicates with the IDE plugin through a number of "commands", just 
using this interface: 
https://github.com/rainers/visuald/blob/master/vdc/ivdserver.d . This 
can easily be mapped to C calls.

There's also an implementation of that interface using D_Parser 
(https://github.com/rainers/visuald/tree/master/vdc/abothe), but it 
isn't complete yet.
