Now that my move is behind me and I'm settling in to my new house, I have more time to stay on top of things (note that "more" does not necessarily equate to "enough"). I'll try to keep the tweet stream more active than usual over the coming two+ weeks, even while I'm bopping around Germany in the week prior to the conference. If you have a Twitter handle, it would help us out to retweet anything interesting you see on @D_Programming. If you aren't following us, it would help us out even more for you to become a statistic! Let's see if we can turn that 9,781 (as I write this) into 10,000 before the Hackathon. Each time i register to tweeter i got locked for no reasons. This happened yesterday again WHILE writing the first message. This is a problem when you don't own a smart-phone... I think people should seriously stop using this service, they don't realize but there are probably a bunch of psychos at the top of hierarchy of this company. These abusive lockings are a direct representation of their madness.

Re: autowrap v0.0.1 - Automatically wrap existing D code for use in Python and Excel

autowrap v0.0.1 - Automatically wrap existing D code for use in Python and Excel
http://code.dlang.org/packages/autowrap
This came out of the need at work to take existing D code and
make it available for both Excel and Python.
Both pyd and excel-d make the reasonable assumption that one is
using them to write code specifically for those environments.
That breaks when there's existing production D code one wants to
wrap.
The idea is to not "dirty" the existing code with dependencies on
either pyd or excel-d and instead wrap them from outside the
existing dub packages, whilst still using pyd and excel-d behind
the scenes.
The end result is that if you have two D modules called
`my.module1` and `my.module2` and you want to create a Python
extension called `mylibrary`, then one dub.sdl and one
source/app.d such as this is enough:
import autowrap.python;
mixin(
wrapAll(
LibraryName("mylibrary"),
Modules("my.module1", "my.module2", /* ... */),
)
);
Seriously, that's it.* Well, other than the fact that dub will
produce libmylibrary.so on Linux and what you need is
mylibrary.so, so you'll have to rename the file.
The functions that are to be enabled for wrapping must be marked
`export`, both for Python and Excel. It is a form of tagging and
the production code must be changed to accomodate it, but at
least it introduces no extra dependencies.
For Python, any struct used in an `export` function's parameters
or return type is automatically wrapped, as well as any structs
inside it.

of.

Thanks, Best regards From what I understand It should "just work" if you have an FPGA OpenCL runtime installed. I'd love to test that but I lack both time and an FPGA to do it. I'll be improving dcompute significantly once I graduate and have the time to do so.
