Disclaimer: I am not involved in any compiler development stuff.

If I understand, you are trying to do what 
[LDC](https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc) does, but not in C++ 
(as LLVM backend of d, LDC, is written in C++), in d instead. 
Then, you need an LLVM binding to d. Here there is one. If this 
is not the case, please ignore my message.
