What is the state of DLL support on windows?
I ask because I have a project coming up very soon which will require
interacting with DLLs (I think it is a C interface) and I would much
rather do it in D than C given the opportunity.
I don't think the choice of language matters, users and maintainers
can read neither C nor D, and it has to be able to communicate with
LabVIEW (shudder,gag), best way would be some kind of File based
bidirectional pipe, or some kind of localhost server? I would be writing
the server.
Assumption: you need a shared library loaded into LabVIEW.
What I would suggest is if you can throw together a simple c library
that manages:
- starting/stopping/restarting a process
- communicating with said process
That way you can alter during runtime the program and still use D, or
any language really.
