Re: Error

2022-10-31 Thread Johann via Digitalmars-d-learn

```d
writeln (getSize(rom))
```
reports 478 bytes but since you work with ushorts (why? as far as 
I can see, this is a 8 bit machine) you convert the read(rom) 
into ushorts, which is only half in size:


```d
writeln (cast(ushort[])read(rom));
```

gives you 478/2 = 239 bytes

```d
this.memory[memStart..memStart + romSize] = 
cast(ushort[])read(rom);

```

fails because both ranges have different sizes.

Aaa... how could this escape my attention. Thanks a lot.


Conversion from ANSI 1252 to unicode

2022-04-07 Thread Johann via Digitalmars-d-learn

Hi all,

anybody knows if there are functions (preferably) in Phobos, that 
translate from unicode to other encodings and vice versa?

what is local package map(local-packages.json) for dub while doing building?

The verbose message is confusing. Why are there so many attempts

I generate one if it's useful?


What does "Checking for upgrades" do?

Thanks for your good work. I will file a bug report then.

Not related to this thread, but is something missing from this

[dlang library documentation] Why there are dlang.org/library and dlang.org/phobos?

2018-01-22 Thread Johann via Digitalmars-d-learn
It seems that std library documentation lives in two different 
directories.


https://dlang.org/phobos/

https://dlang.org/library/

Maybe it's due to historical reasons. Problem is, when I search 
for a library function in Google, sometimes it points me to 
library directory, and sometimes it points me to phobos directory.


In fact, when I search "dlang writef", it shows me two urls most 
relevant.


1. https://dlang.org/library/std/stdio/writef.html

2. https://dlang.org/phobos/std_stdio.html

Clicking "format string" hyperlink on first url gives a 404 
error. 
https://dlang.org/library/std/stdio/std_format.html#format-string


The second url is correct. 
https://dlang.org/phobos/std_format.html#format-string


Is https://dlang.org/library/ deprecated? If so, is it possible 
to remove it so that it won't confuse noobs like me?


Or if both directories are intented to be used, I'll file a bug 
instead.


Working Windows GUI library - no console Window

2015-11-06 Thread johann via Digitalmars-d-learn

hi,
i like to use a window gui library and i think i found a working 
one.


https://github.com/FrankLIKE/dfl2  - works with x64

the problem is, that with DMD 2.069.0, VS2015 and visualD the 
trick of using "-L/SUBSYSTEM:windows,6.00 
-L/ENTRY:mainCRTStartup" does not suppress the console window 
anymore.


does anybody have a solution for that problem?
is anybody still working on that library?

Same problem here. I had to remove the mainCRTStartup flag and 
use WinMain as my entry point.


me too. i need to start a main(), since the lib will not work 
with a starting WinMain.


RandomAccessRange / Mobile Elements

2014-05-27 Thread Johann via Digitalmars-d-learn

Hello,
I read in std.range that given a random access range r , 
r.opIndex(n) should return a reference to the nth element. Is 
there a qualifier for a read only random access range? If not, 
why?
I also don't really get the point of Mobile Elements, how is 
destructively reading related to mobility, and what is it good 
for?


Thanks.
