If you have a link to the PFFT code them maybe I can do that myself. I don't know what PFFT stands for (can't google it either, funny results shows up) but if it related to vectorization then maybe LDC has been slower because it was built against LLVM 3.3 while LLVM 3.4 brings more vector optimizations. Maybe all what has to be done, is rerunning benchmarks against LDC + LLVM 3.4 ? Slide 25: Implicit invariants often hard to track down Then maybe it's a good idea to add such invariants to the dmd front-end code, even before its port to D. Bye, bearophile My guess is Parallel Fast Fourier Transform.

Re: glad OpenGL loader generator
It looks like your D backend generates string literals with literal null bytes--this is unnecessary as string literals are already null terminated. (Documented here: http://dlang.org/interfaceToC.html (see final bullet under Calling C Functions) Also, it looks like loading each extension requires scanning all available extension names, e.g. loading 25 extensions requires 25 linear scans of the extension list. You might consider caching and sorting if the number of extensions requested is more than a handful.

Re: ∅MQD, a ∅MQ wrapper for D
On Fri, 24 Jan 2014 17:45:44 +, Lars T. Kyllingstad wrote: ∅MQD is a D library that wraps the low-level C API of the ∅MQ messaging framework. It is a rather thin wrapper that maps closely to the C API, while making it safer, easier and more pleasant to use. The API is designed to feel familiar to existing ∅MQ users, yet natural to D users. For more information, check out the following links. GitHub/README: https://github.com/kyllingstad/zmqd API docs: http://kyllingstad.github.io/zmqd DUB package: http://code.dlang.org/packages/zmqd A while ago, I posted an RFC about this on the digitalmars.D forum. I've since incorporated some of the suggestions I got and made a few additions, and I now deem the library ready for release. It hasn't seen a lot of serious field testing yet, though, so there are surely a few bugs lurking in there. Therefore, I am calling this the first beta release, and encourage you to report any issues you encounter here: https://github.com/kyllingstad/zmqd/issues Nicely done. It looks like you haven't wrapped the poll functionality at all, something that I use in most of my 0MQ programs.

I'm glad that you mention zmq_poll(); I've been wondering how to deal with that. It's slightly more low-level than the other functions, since it also deals with standard OS file descriptors, and I'd rather not expose OS-level stuff in ∅MQD more than strictly necessary. Do you ever use that functionality, or do you just poll ∅MQ sockets? Lars I think I've mixed a file descriptor in with sockets once, but not in current production code. A quick thought: you might template the poll wrapper so that the user could pass a mix of Socket and int (or whatever the proper name is for the file descriptor type per OS). Inside, you set the appropriate property on each zmq_pollitem_t structure based on the argument type. Now that I think of it, you also need to find a scheme for indicating which events you want to listen for. Which means either a simple pairing type (socket, event mask) or a getopt-style interface.

On Mon, 19 May 2014 19:50:35 +, Colden Cullen wrote: Hi everyone, I’m super excited to be able to announce that the Dash game engine[1] is finally stable and ready for public use! I’m currently the Lead Engine Programmer at Circular Studios[2] (the group behind Dash). We had 14 people working on the team, 6 engine programmers and 8 game developers creating Spectral Robot Task Force, a turn-based strategy game built with Dash. Dash is an OpenGL engine written in the D language that runs on both Windows and Linux. We use a deferred-rendering model in the current pipeline, and a component model for game development and logic. Other major features at the moment include networking, skeletal-animation support, content and configuration loading via YAML, and UI support through Awesomium[3] (though we are in the process of moving over to using CEF[4] itself). Our vision for Dash is to have the programmer-facing model of XNA/Monogame combined with the designer-friendliness of Unity in a fully free and open source engine. We also hope that Dash can help to prove the power and maturity of D as a language, as well as push D to continue improving. We’re open to any feedback you may have, or better yet, we’d love to see pull requests for improvements. [1] https://github.com/Circular-Studios/Dash [2] http://circularstudios.com/ [3] http://awesomium.com/ [4] https://code.google.com/p/chromiumembedded/ Very exciting! Thank for the very liberal license; this is a great contribution to the community. I know you guys are probably crunching on the million things that stand between alpha and release, but when you have time, a series of blog posts or articles would be awesome. Topics such as your usage of mixins and your experience with the GC would be great and speak to the advantages of using D.
