Is there anyone out there using a mix of D with C/C++ and Fortran? SCons goes to great lengths to be able to support almost arbitrary combinations of C, C++, and Fortran -- where the compilers allow the linker to link such combinations. Clealy mixing C and C++ or C and Fortran are (relatively) straightforward, but mixing C++ and Fortran is a problem. Adding DMD/GDC/LDC to this mix leads to a combinatorial issue -- especially since the command line structures of dmd, gdc and ldc are so different.
I am (slowly) arriving at the point of view that SCons support for D should not be separate from the C, C++ and Fortran infrastructure, but be an integral part of it -- it almost is already, so this is not as big a deal as at first thought (possibly). On the other hand it is a big deal because it involves solving some swept under the carpet issues... -- Russel. ============================================================================= Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:[email protected] 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: [email protected] London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder
