Re: Visual D 0.3.37 released

This release however broke my setup. Whenever i tried to step into code while debugging it would crash visual studio. I fixed this by changing the debugger to Visual Studio (x86 mixed mode) i'm not sure if i used this debugger in previous versions (i may have) but i had never changed the used debugger until today. For more information i am using Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate. The application was in DMD 2064 beta 4 (x86 mode). I tried to reproduce (within VS2012 Shell) but could not produce any crashes. Do you have updates for VS 2012 installed? Did you switch back to the old engine by enabling native Edit and Continue (watches don't work with the new engine? Does it happen with a standard hello-world program, or does it have to be more involved? If you have a repro case please submit a bug report: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/enter_bug.cgi?product=D

Greetings,
many of you may notice lack of (up-to-date and working) DirectX
bindings, one may also seen my activity on d.learn sub forum.
so let me announce yet another bindings for DirectX which one
may fork right now from github!
https://github.com/evilrat666/directx-d
please be careful though, as it is only in alpha stage and
missing some stuff. current version is June 2010 SDK, but i
update it(to win8 sdk version) once i had win8 machine(i'm
still don't have a PC at home).
also, there is no d3d9 and d3d10 stuff as i consider it
outdated now, but i would appreciate pull requests for them
anyway :)
Hi,
Good work.
While porting header to D you can use:
alias int _D3D_SHADER_INPUT_FLAGS
enum : _D3D_SHADER_INPUT_FLAGS
{
D3D_SIF_USERPACKED= 1,
// others...
}
instead of:
enum _D3D_SHADER_INPUT_FLAGS
{
D3D_SIF_USERPACKED= 1,
// others...
}
That way using the enum won't force to use a namespace.

thanks for notice, i'll need to try it first on something bigger
than simple example first.
most likely i had been doing this by default if i were work with
real C++ DirectX projects, unfortunately i only used OpenGL until
now :(

I believe having a set of up to date references, tutorials, and books are paramount to the further adoption and success of D as a programming language. +1 -- Jordi Sayol

Nothing much new compared to the last time I ported C, which I wrote about here: http://forum.dlang.org/thread/mailman.1069.1308629671.14074.digitalmars-d-annou...@puremagic.com?page=2#post-mailman.1084.1308684922.14074.digitalmars-d-announce:40puremagic.com Of course I know much more now than I did back then. Maybe you meant like a blog post? I'll add it to my todo list. :)

If you have a repro case please submit a bug report: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/enter_bug.cgi?product=D I'm now unable to recreate the bugg. It vanished after an automatic windows update. So i'm guessing that the problem was in my visual studio setup rather then in the Visual D pluggin.

Like you, I am not happy with Inverse. :) I wanted to say struct Negate and function negate(). But ! is the negation operator. I like opposite better but the Wikipedia article calls it additive inverse so inverse is still acceptable, I guess? :) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operators_in_C_and_C++ Well, if you don't want to change it now that the chapter has been released, don't worry -- it's not wrong per se, just somewhat unintuitive to my native English ear. I think that Negative and negative() (not Negation) would be fine. Bear in mind that ! is the _logical_ negation operator; without the qualifier, the word doesn't have the same meaning. The negative of x is just -x. The trouble with inverse (for me) is that its colloquial meaning is the multiplicative inverse, while in a strict mathematical sense it is too general -- you can have an inverse of _any_ function, so the term always needs to be qualified as the inverse of ... (whether of addition, multiplication, some other choice of function). But this may be my fussing too much. ;-)

Then, we can banter about topics/speakers for later. Vladimir, what dates are you in town and will noon or evening work? Maybe you could present your DConf material? Hi, I'll be around Minneapolis (in Eagan) for all of November, with the possible exception of one week (TBD if/when) during which I might take a dip down to LA. The biggest limiting factor is that I can't drive here. So, if someone could pick me up, practically any time I'm here is fine for me. Otherwise we'll need to find a day that works for everyone. I could redo my DConf talk if you're interested, although I don't think I'd have much to add since May. Or, I could talk about memory management in D: garbage collection, structure and history of the D GC, related tools, best practices, and latest developments. Some of this was covered by the two DConf GC presentations. What will the format and duration of the meetup be? A presentation in an auditorium somewhere, or like a dinner/gathering?
