`_d_throw_exception` is a function in the D standard library (druntime,
to be precise). As such, even though the LLVM IR produced by LDC is
well-formed (i.e. LDC is not at fault here), when lli tries to interpret
the IR in question, it isn't able to find the address of the function
("could not be resolved"), because it doesn't know anything about
druntime or how to load it.
lli has the necessary provisions for C/C++, so it works there (I don't
remember off the top of my head whether they hardcode the C runtime
functions or simply use the symbols from the lli executable itself,
which is of course written in C++).
You could, for instance, work around this by compiling druntime into
bitcode and linking that with your .ll files before trying to execute
them. Why do you want to use lli in the first place, though?
Best,
David
