Can you think of a pragmatic solution to Atila's problem?
One way is for the C++ => D translator to gather all the members of a
namespace before trying to emit them. Since D does not impose an order on
declarations (unlike C++) it is not constrained to follow the same order.
So a new post preprocessor stage that parses the produced D code and regroups to
group the declarations in the same namespace together ? Using DMD as a library
or libdparse or something?
I don't know how Atila's translator works.
The htod one that I wrote would read and do the semantic processing on the
entire file before walking the data structures and emitting the corresponding D
code, so grouping the namespace declarations would be trivial. In fact, due to
the nature of semantic processing, they would already be grouped together.
