For example, what's the lifetime of the pointer people will get from std::exception::what(). IMHO: don't worry about catching exceptions by value; it's almost always either incorrect, uninteresting, or both. The prize is catching (references to) classes rooted in std::exception. Nice-to-have is catching (references to) classes rooted in other C++ classes. A blog post would be fantastic. Andrei Finally there: https://syniurgeblog.wordpress.com/2015/11/20/catching-cpp-exceptions-in-d/ Although a little late and probably less user-oriented than you wanted? For example, what's the lifetime of the pointer people will get from std::exception::what(). The exception object gets destroyed on exiting the catch (C++) block if the exception isn't rethrown.

I switched the installers for my workplace from NSIS to InnoSetup [1] and was very satisfied with it. In my opinion it's superior to NSIS. It might be worthwile to strive to change but I might be wrong because I never looked on the Dlang installers. [1] http://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php
Re: PowerNex - My 64bit kernel written in D

I am even more happy there is more developers interested in GUI stuff. I have one fundamental question though: Is it possible for you to pick the Boost license (especially for libs)? This is my general concern for all libs developed by the D community. IMO license other than Boost is very cumbersome and doesn't comply with the D core libs. Piotrek
