Marco Leise:
hbtype = buffer[0]; // read type, ok // but this??? ugh!!! payload = bigEndianToHost(*cast(short*)buffer[1 .. 3].ptr); bp[0 .. payload] = buffer[3 .. 3+payload];The code becomes pretty messy in my eyes.
In most cases D allows you to find a way to write your code in a reasonably nice and reasonably safe way. You just have to be in the right mind frame.
