That's just not an issue when you have 64 bits of address

At this point I suggest you to study exactly why Rust

use a segmented stack. It seems to work well for them.


If you know a reason, please post one.


I believe the Rust developers are also targeting embedded systems 
that may not have 64-bit virtual address spaces.  Hence the 
spaghetti stacks.

DCD: Autocomplete without the IDE

[Brian Schott]

* What is it?
DCD is a client and server program that work together to provide 
autocomplete suggestions and function call tips to almost any 
text editor that supports scripting or plugins.


* Who is it for?
People who would like autocomplete, but don't want to give up 
their favorite editor for an IDE.


* Where is it?
GitHub! https://github.com/Hackerpilot/DCD

* What does it look like?
There's a short demo video on Youtube: 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vo2POmn2_9U


* What editors does it work with?
Textadept, Kate/KDevelop, Vim, and Emacs. The Textadept 
integration script is the reference implementation.


* This sounds a lot like GoCode
It does, doesn't it?

* Does it work?
Yes and no. DCD is fairly new, and not all of the features you'd 
expect from a D autocompletion engine are present. I do feel that 
it's enough of an improvement over not having autocomplete to 
make this alpha announcement.


* Should I file bug reports in this announcement thread?
No. Add them here:

Do you have any plans to support go to definition function? 
It's really useful in real life.

Yes. I just filed it as issue 26.

XML RPC Client and Server - meet xmlrpc-d

[Pavel Kirienko]

Hi everyone,

I am working on some D-based project that needs to call and serve 
XML-RPC procedures with multiple output parameters. Quick 
lookaround revealed that:

1. There are no XML-RPC servers implemented in D, or wrapped in D;
2. There are some simple XML-RPC clients, but no one supports 
methods with multiple output parameters.


So I decided to write ultimate XML-RPC library that could follow 
XML-RPC standard as close as ... well, as I could manage it. :)


Grab your copy here: https://github.com/pavel-kirienko/xmlrpc-d

D's compile-time introspection is utterly amazing, it enables 
such features as automatic conversion of a value which type is 
not known at compile-time to something predefined. This makes 
possible to define XML-RPC methods in the simplest way possible 
(as regular functions), all the boring job of turning the 
function parameters into XML-RPC types and vice versa is carried 
out by compiler with the help of the Variant type:


--
real multiply(real a, real b) { return a * b; }
xmlrpcServer.addMethod!multiply();
--

Which also makes possble such weird things like that:

--
// multiply() expects two arguments of type 'real' and returns 
'real',

// but we call it with strings:
string ret = client.call!(multiply, string)(6, 9);
--

Take a look into the 'example' directory on the Github page to 
see more examples.


It is worth to mention that this is my first project in D - I was 
concurrently studying The D Programming Language by Andrei 
Alexandrescu (great book Andrei!), thus the code may need some 
review.



Good luck with your projects,
Pavel.

and no conversion[/b]. It is known that Blu-ray movies are
protected by copyright including AACS, BD+, region code, etc. So
we need a tool to remove these copyright protections and then
backup the m2ts files from original blu-ray. Moreover, one joint
m2ts file should be better for further playback, editing, sharing
or burning disc.

Did you look at std.serialization (currently in the review queue)
? An RPC does need serialization.
