It's only native C and D code. A part of the java api is converted to D and then the java part of SWT is converted to D and the C part is the same as the Java version is using. |

I'd love to see dwt work with gdc someday, especially because this will be the key to making any other OS port possible (eg. OS X).
But for now, it's simpler to port with the reference compiler (dmd) in mind, the one that has the most bugs getting fixed.
I did try using gdc to build the dwt project (on linux), but it failed quite miserably. There seem to be some outstanding problems with gdc and the linker in some complicated projects... it produces errors that seem similar to those I've experienced building GtkD with gdc.
If anyone else wants to tackle testing with gdc, go right ahead!
