Re: Official Dub package for DWT
On Wednesday, 7 February 2018 at 21:33:22 UTC, Jacob Carlborg wrote: This has been long overdue but I would like to announce that I've just released an official Dub package for the DWT library [1]. For a usage example, please see the GitHub page [2]. For those not familiar with DWT, it's a library for creating cross-platform GUI applications. It's uses the native drawing operations of the operating system. It's originally a port of the SWT Java library, it's a complete port and contains no Java or JNI code. A couple of other changes are: * All the previous Git submodules have now been inlined in the main/super repository [3] * Proper testing on both Linux and Windows has been added * Separate tool for building all the snippets * Bumped the minimum requirement of the compiler to DMD 2.078.1 (I'll probably add support for LDC soon) * Officially removeed any support for building with D1 [1] http://code.dlang.org/packages/dwt [2] https://github.com/d-widget-toolkit/dwt#usage [3] https://github.com/d-widget-toolkit/dwt Thanks for this effort. I looked at DWT a while back but settled on GtkD because it was easier to build. Either way, I will have to revisit this library and give it another go in my new project. Looking at the examples I imagine it wouldn't be too difficult to use WindowBuilder for SWT and port the generate Java code across to DWT. bye, lobo

Does that actually work in D2? I thought it was a D1-only
thing.
Yes, but for some unknown to me reason it was deprecated (or it
will be in the future) in favour of std.typecons.scoped.
Actually, it is used in many places throughout DDMD, so I don't
think its going away soon.
When was it deprecated? I use it a lot and DMD 2.071.1 gives no
warning.

We have SVN repositories so that people can just put their updates straight in, and everyone else not only has access to the update straight away but can obtain it with either a one-line command line invocation or a few mouse clicks. The only problem is that the SVN server that is currently hosting the bindings doesn't work properly. We already have a potential solution: moving it across to Github. As such, I'm going to see if I can figure out how to do this. Stewart. Sorry, my mistake. I thought you were asking about how to contribute bindings back to Phobos. bye, lobo

Last week also introduced was the Clang module map file support, which helps breaking namespaces into smaller pieces and thus makes probably most C libraries usable right now without having to maintain bindings, only a module map file which may also be generated by clang-modularize. Wow, this is great stuff! I'd love to get this working with VTK! I currently have half-baked bindings that still have a bunch of bugs. This looks like a much more interesting approach. bye, lobo

Do you think your time is more valuable than that of D contributors' or something? This attitude is crap and is becoming more frequent on the forums. The D development team is not interested in listening to their user base unless the user base is willing to contribute back to D language development with PRs. Good luck with that because most end-users will not bother even trying to file a bug report, let alone distill it down with some tool in the compiler download. They'll just move on in another language that doesn't require effort fighting compiler/language bugs. bye, lobo
