DMD's lexer available on code.dlang.org

2015-01-04 Thread Daniel Murphy via Digitalmars-d-announce
I've created a dub package for the D version of DMD's lexer, generated 
automatically from the C++ source.


github: https://github.com/yebblies/ddmd
dub: http://code.dlang.org/packages/ddmd

There are a few annoying limitations, such that it uses dmd's error printing 
and allocation functions, and requires configuration through 'global'.


Here is an example program that uses the lexer:

==

import std.stdio;
import std.file;

import ddmd.tokens;
import ddmd.lexer;

/

void main()
{
   Lexer.initLexer();

   string data = void blah() {} // stuff;
   auto l = new Lexer(myfile, data.ptr, 0, data.length, 0, 0);
   l.nextToken();
   do
   {
   printf(token: %s\n, l.token.toChars());
   }
   while (l.nextToken() != TOKeof);
}

==

Prints:

token: void
token: blah
token: (
token: )
token: {
token: }

I saw that. I'm really looking forward to getting my teeth into it and 
doing some good old refactoring. Although that will be a while because 
of the auto generated thing.

There's plenty of refactoring to be done on the C++ side too.

(sorry if you get this question too often)

How is DDMD as a whole going? Is it getting closer or are ongoing DMD 
changes slowing it down too much?


It's been sitting still for 8 nearly months because of 
https://github.com/braddr/d-tester/issues/39 and 
https://github.com/braddr/d-tester/issues/40


I don't mind getting asked, I just wish the answer would change.

Anyway, great to have the lexer on DUB, not going to use if for now 
because I expect there to be changes, but I guess it may eventually be 
useful for writing tools.


Hopefully lots of changes. 



Re: GCCJIT Bindings for D

Another practical example has been published which implements a

Using a vistor class to split backend and frontend was 
shamelessly borrowed from DMD.  :)

I can't really help with those, but FWIW I bumped the issues.

Re: DOtherSide: QML bindings for both D and Nim

Hi all,
i'll like to share my project for building the bindings for QML 
in both D and Nim programming languages.
The project is young and it's not complete, however at the 
current state slots, signals and properties can be exposed to 
QML from D. So a pure databound application can be created 
(like MVVM).
The projects is hosted on github 
https://github.com/filcuc/DOtherSide.
A the current state the syntax isn't pretty so i'm glad in any 
contribution for improving it.



Have a nice new year,


cool, i've been looking for something like this for a long time.
after so many hours messing around with qt bindings, maybe D+QML 
is enough for me.

What I want to do is D side unfortunately. I just hate to see large 
lists in e.g. globals with constructors. When they can be dealt with a 
simple array and a bit of CTFE magic.

D port of the Dynamic Window Manager (DWM)

2015-01-04 Thread stewart h via Digitalmars-d-announce

Hi,

I've ported DWM to D as a learning exercise and thought I'd share 
it. The repository can be found here:


https://bitbucket.org/growlercab/ddwm

(Beware, I've only tested it on Arch-Linux 64 bit for about 1 
day!)


DWM is a minimalist dynamic window manager from suckless. More 
details on DWM can be found here


http://dwm.suckless.org/


The cport branch is where I've done as little as possible to 
port the C code to D. It really looks like C code and is 
basically the DWM code compiling with DMD.


Under the Downloads section is a build of ddwm-cport to try out 
if anyone is interested, or build from source as it's pretty easy 
with dub.


The master branch is where I'm learning D, trying new Phobos 
functions and D style coding. I'm then comparing how the D-style 
version performs with DDWM.cport and the original DWM in terms of 
speed and memory.


I don't expect the master branch to be stable but cport should 
work fine.



Cheers,
Stew

The translation tool is available on github and is boost

This pull request contains the latest version in src/magicport 
- https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/pull/3410


Please keep in mind that the tool makes a lot of assumptions 
about the C++ source that may not be valid for projects other 
than dmd.  It's fairly easy to adapt to other projects, but it 
won't work on them out of the box.
