I tried using this a bit and it's ... frustrating. I'll try and 
describe the thought process of a visit:



I load beta.forum.dlang.org, fullscreen, at 1680x1050.

All text looks very slightly out-of-focus and the bold text is 
far too tightly packed.
I notice that there are lines of text that are truncated (post 
titles), despite having loads of whitespace free on the page. 
This is instantly irritating.


I click on a post and it is loaded in horizontal split mode.

The right panel of the split view extends significantly lower 
than the left panel. The navigation column extends down further 
still.


There is some wasted vertical space above the footer and a *lot* 
wasted below it.


In the actual post window, I now have a line length below 60 
characters, which is way too small for me, I prefer closer to 80 
for reading (also I don't want code to start getting wrapped 
below 80). Nested quotations in replies end up with very 
restricted line lengths.


I click the "Toggle navigation" button.

With a line-length of 82 and less wasted vertical space around 
the footer, I'm much happier. However, now I've lost the left 
navigation column and the header bar.



A few summary points/suggestions:

The horizontal split layout looks horribly cramped in the default 
view, which is very irritating to look at, given the large white 
spaces either side of the content.


Users can always resize the window to make line lengths smaller, 
but if you've capped them too low they can't do anything to make 
them longer.


Having the "toggle navigation" button is nice for focus (less 
clutter, on demand), please keep it, but don't use it as an 
excuse for the design to be rubbish without it. I like to 
*option* to hide all the navigation, but I shouldn't have to just 
to get reasonable line lengths.

debuggability, quality of codegen and compiler bugs will need to

the competition, this is why we love it. But the reason it's 
experiencing slow adoption, is because of tooling and general 
implementation quality, and the lower threshold of tolerance from 
the general population.

The forum theme also has grey text on grey background (almost the

Well, the last error is caused by not import equal in that code (since the
imports that would import it are local imports elsewhere in the module).

As for the main error, you have parens on the declaration of Result.

static struct Result()

I don't know why you put them there, since Result is already effectively
templated by being inside of a templated function, and having it requires
that Result than have !() as a template argument when you're constructing
it. So, I'd say that you should just remove the parens - or if you have a
good reason that I can't think of which makes it make sense to put the
parens on Result, then you'll need to use !() when constructing it.

In any case, having the parens there but not using !() when constructing the
Result is what gives you the error you're seeing. If you remove the parens,
you get something more like

substitution.d(159): Error: template instance hasSlicing!R template 
'hasSlicing' is not defined
substitution.d(160): Error: template instance hasLength!R template 'hasLength' 
is not defined
substitution.d(176): Error: static assert  "Handle R without slicing"
substitution.d(195):instantiated from here: findingSplitter!("a == b", 
string, string, string, string)

Adding the appropriate imports results in something along the lines of

substitution.d(177): Error: static assert  "Handle R without slicing"
substitution.d(196):instantiated from here: findingSplitter!("a == b", 
string, string, string, string)

Beyond that, I'd have to figure out exactly what you're up to, but it looks
like that static assert is probably there to indicate that code needs to be
added as opposed to there being another bug that needs fixing.

In any case, that should at least help you make progress.

was surprised that buildHeap() at 
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/phobos/blob/master/std/algorithm/sorting.d#L1289 
uses percolate(). In turn, percolate() has two stages, one that sifts 
up, the other that sifts down.


In fact all you need to do is sift down and stop as soon as the heap 
property is preserved. I created 
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/phobos/pull/3933 which as far 
as I understand is correct and also faster.

across all Unix-like OSes, so it doesn't make sense that this is 
only partially supported. (I am using the latest DMD).

I wasn't trying to market D; I was simply offering my advice to 
the OP.


I think D is a fantastic language, but I'm not going to downplay 
what I perceive to be its shortcomings.


I find this the wrong view of progress, yet one that remains 
embedded in far too many organizations. It comes in two parts:


1. If a product has changed at all in the last six months, 
other than trivial bug fixes, it isn't stable enough to use in 
production.


2. Once we have stuff out in production, nothing may be changed 
until end of life.


Clearly the opposite extreme of "we must use the very latest of 
every early-access version we can get out hands on" is equally 
dangerous in production. There is a middle ground. Keep 
everything as up to date with formally released versions as 
possible, taking on a continuous change and evolution strategy.


In this mindset D is certainly stable enough for production, it 
is not beta software. DMD is the playground compiler, GDC the 
conservative but solid one, and LDC the core production tool.


That is not my mindset.

I consider D beta-quality because whenever I program in D, I 
encounter bugs (both new and old) in the compiler and/or standard 
library on almost a daily basis. This has not been my experience 
with other languages that have more money behind them, like Java 
(never hit a bug in my life, that I'm aware of), C# (once?), or 
C++ (so byzantine that I'm not sure I would notice - that's why I 
prefer D :-) ).


None of the bugs I've hit recently has been too difficult to 
diagnose and work around, which is why I no longer consider D 
alpha-quality. I, personally, would be comfortable using D in 
production - but that's because I have a high tolerance for the 
kinds of minor issues beta software brings with it; not everyone 
does.


And to be clear - I think GDC is awesome. But I also think that 
someone with a low tolerance for issues like the one the OP 
complained about will be happier using DMD or LDC, as I find the 
newer front-ends noticeably less buggy in day-to-day use.

I believe it's impossible because a parameter tuple is not a 
runtime entity. If it was an expression tuple (a compile-time 
tuple of only values, no types or symbols) and all of the values 
had a common base type, you could put it in an array and index 
that.

For this, yes. Should be able to just fork druntime and edit the

Make sure it matches the original C names, values, etc., and 
there should be no real friction in getting it in (just remember 
to use spaces rather than tabs lol)

How much work do you think that would involve? Would it be enough

On Windows, it uses the native controls, so it should work

True that. I think it's great to keep evolving the language and 
making it better, on the other hand, if D is to get serious 
adoption, then everything, especially the basics like 
debuggability, quality of codegen and compiler bugs will need 
to be solid. D as a language is already powerful enough to 
thrash the competition, this is why we love it. But the reason 
it's experiencing slow adoption, is because of tooling and

I only said it grew on me :)

The page is too white. The style looks good on the main 
website, but on

the forum makes it difficult to read.


Does that mean it's bad for reading longer text? We shouldn't 
use white background for large parts of the main site either 
then.


I just saw the beta forum on my mobile for the first time and its 
actually looking very good. Have there been some changes? It's 
easily readable now. I'll check it on PC later in the day.


I also noticed that the content of posts of the forum are in a 
different font than the restof the website. I prefer the font 
used for the contents - much neater IMO.


It wasn't the white BG that was difficult to read, it was the 
grey regions where the text didn't stand out.

I think he's trying to emphasize that he'd like it to come with 
dmd.  There was talk of putting the lexer/parser into phobos, but 
I believe dub was chosen as a staging ground for people to play 
with it first.  So if you want to use the lexer/parser, use it 
from dub for now, then push for its inclusion into phobos later.

dmd installation question

[Dibyendu Majumdar via Digitalmars-d]

Hi

I have downloaded and installed DMD on a Windows 10 64-bit 
machine. When I try to build my app in Visual Studio - I am 
getting an error:


Error: cannot find source code for runtime library file 'object.d'
   dmd might not be correctly installed. Run 'dmd -man' for 
installation instructions.

   config file: C:\D\dmd2\windows\bin\sc.ini
Specify path to file 'object.d' with -I switch

Upon investigating it appears that the sc.ini file is not 
readable by the user.


If I log in as Administrator then the build works.

What am I doing wrong?

Why does the text get smaller when width of the window gets 
smaller (when it gets small enough).


To accommodate small screens. Without this the font size on 
phones and tablets is too large to be useful.

There's too little usable space. On my 27" 5k iMac, it's a huge

look at huge lines, but generally these high resolution monitors

Why is this allowed?

At least for functions, making them templates provides some

Since dmd is now in D, is there any reason to not allow people to 
import from it while using dmd? Wouldn't it make anyone's life 
who wanted to parse D code easier by just doing


import ddmd.parser; (or what ever it is)

and use the actual parser?

Well I don't, both on OSX and linux, using the latest release. 
On linux I can do the addr2line dance, but on OSX I can't even 
do that as it require information that are gone once the

dmd generates stack traces on linux now

dmd is now in D; theoretically that should allow for other 
projects to import from it like a normal D project. So why not 
make all of the ddmd modules available from any code that is 
complied with it, i.e. just like Phobos?


The parser was just an example, there are any number of things 
that one could use from the code base.

I'm not sure why you even think the OP is using GDC. His bug report
says he's on windows 10. GDC is not supported on windows systems and
won't work for anything but trivial programs.

And stack traces is one thing GDC has had proper support way before
DMD. We have proper stack traces since June 2013:
