What is the recommend tool for D linting from CI pipelines? Does such a tool exist at all?

Sound like the best solution. Using dub seems to be the best way 
for build D apps, libs and even ddox. Having built-in linting 
with a proper return value and some usable output formats would 
make it perfect.

That would be no problem, as long as things are evolving ;-)

Yes, there are still some ideas. E.g. some kind of support to 
directly compile C source files and link their objects with the 
rest would be fine. It turned out, that sometimes it is much 
easier to have some thin C layer to call other libs, and just 
call the extern(C) wrapper function. This gives better control. 
For now, we use the preBuild/preGenerate hooks to call make on 
such files.
