Hello Brien,
Hi BCS,
I'd really appreciate it. I'm looking to port over a network server
application so the GUI stuff shouldn't be a problem. I've also kept
my source code on C# 1.0 so hopefully that should make it easier.
IIRC it targets c# 2.0 or there about (no LINQ)
Did you write your own parser or base it on ANTLR or some other
parsing/compiling library?
I took the cheap solution of a state machine and per-line regex.
I wonder if it is possible to fully automate the conversion process-
if you limit yourself to a certain subset of C# and maybe do some
tricks to decorate the C# source code with any additional D keywords
you would need, e.g. in C#
public class Foo {
public /* @shared */ int bar;
}
which could get translated as a shared variable.
The output is D 1.0
I might want to continue to primarily write code in C# but create an
optimized port to D where I would be able to use native techniques on
critical areas of the code.
That might be viable but the system was never intended for speed (its intent
was as a way to escape needing Mono on a non Windows system) so you would
be stuck having to write D code in C#.
I'll look into digging it out.
