AFAIK, you would usually translate:


typedef int (check_frontend_t*)(void *args, struct dvb_v5_fe_parms *parms);

into:

alias check_frontend_t = extern(C) int function (void* args, 
dvb_v5_fe_parms* parms);

The problem there is that libdvdv5 defines it as (check_frontend_t) and 
not (check_frontend_t*).
To get around that you can ommit the * in the declaration of 
dvb_scan_transponder, and then you should be able to pass &checkFrontend 
to it.
