Z80 Emulation Engine
quick-and-dirty port of my Zymosis Z80 emulation engine to D.
code was built from scratch and not using huge tables to generate
huge sources (it's just one module with source size ~64KB).
it properly emulates all known Z80 quirks (including MEMPTR
register) and passes all 1335 tests from FUSE.
sorry, it uses GDC @attribute(forceinline) feature, so you need
latest GDC to build it. it's not strictly necessary though (speed
optimizations? who needs that speed optimizations with current
CPUs?!) and can be hacked away with this piece of code:
version(GNU) {
import gcc.attribute;
} else {
private struct Attribute(A...) { A args; }
auto attribute(A...) (A args) if (A.length 0 is(A[0] ==
string)) { return Attribute!A(args); }
}
i'm pretty sure that this is the first Z80 emulator written in D.

ah, nearly forgot to give repo URL:

Have you performed a benchmark with and without that attribute?
not on this code yet. will check it someday,
http://repo.or.cz/w/zymosis.d.git
In this kind of code computed gotos could help performance.
i don't think so: it's not a 'table-driven executor', it does
proper instruction decoding by various opcode bitfields like Z80
do. this is by design. so i can't just make a huge table for
computed goto.
struct { ubyte c, b; };
Struct definitions in D don't end with the semicolon.
ah. tnx, this is a C code leftovers. maybe compiler should emit
warnings on superfluous semicolons?
I suggest to omit the space between the function name and its
arguments.
sorry, but i will not change my coding style. i may use original
author's style when sending patches, but i'm used to my own for
my projects.
And if you want you can also add an in:
tnx, will do.
And perhaps it's better to use enum values instead of magic
constants.
this is hardware magic by itself. %-) i don't think that
constants like 'BIT7MASK' and 'BITS0TO6MASK' will look prettier
here.
static __gshared ubyte parity_tbl[256];
Better to use the D syntax:
static __gshared ubyte[256] parity_tbl;
ah, C leftovers again, changed, tnx.
thanks for all your comments and suggestions. i'm still D newbie,
so they are valuable input.

If something's open source with no commercial intent, is there good reason not to use gpl? How hard is it to change later? i don't see a reason not to use GPL even on commercial code. %-)
TweetNaCl port
this is quick-and-dirty port of TweetNaCl to D. it's not a proper 'D rewrite' of TweetNaCl, it still shows it's C roots, but it works. and it has test suite and ddoc which original TweetNaCl lacks. WARNING! API is subject to change. but you can take the current version and use it as-is if the current API is ok for you. http://repo.or.cz/w/tweetnacl.d.git p.s. somehow i have feeling that somebody already did that and i failed my google-foo again.

Hello. last night i ported ZMBV video codec to D. ZMBV is videocodec invented by DosBox team to record old videogames' gameplay. if you are into writing old-school games, it can be handy to embed the possibility to creating gameplay video directly in your game. it's only codec for now (i.e. it can't write .avi files, only encoding and decoding raw frame data). it's a port of GPLv3 code, so it is GPLv3 too, sorry. documentation is non-existent for now, but i'm planning to add some samples along with .avi writer. codec is using libc malloc()/realloc()/free() for it's internal data (and tries not to allocate things very often). yet it throws alot of exceptions on invalid input or output, so beware. sorry for shitty code, it's a port of a port of a port, and it was made in a hurry. here is the source: http://repo.or.cz/w/iv.d.git/blob_plain/HEAD:/zmbv.d p.s. don't bother to pull other modules from the repo: they either not finished/polished or not written in 'standard D' anyway. signature.asc Description: PGP signature

can it detect top-level @properties and @properties with args? this
would be very valuable addition for property enforcing patch. std.file,

protractor glyph recognizer
Hello. here i presenting to you simple, but working ProTractor[1] glyph recognizer. it is a successor of $1 gesture recognizer[2]. it's reasonably reliable and fast. http://repo.or.cz/w/iv.d.git/blob_plain/HEAD:/geng.d i don't think that you really need any documentation for it, as everything is very simple. the only thing you have to remember is that you'd better keep all template glyphs normalized. here is some quickhack sample using my other IV modules: http://repo.or.cz/w/iv.d.git/tree/HEAD:/protractor_test i included simple glyph reader and writer, so you can easily store and load your glyph libraries.

I can assure you that it's _the_ reason it took off so much. If the Android project had insisted on pure open source, the hardware and smartphone vendors would have laughed at them and used Windows Mobile or LiMo or one of the myriad other alternatives at the time. It's why Samsung has their own proprietary multi-window implementation for Android and Amazon and Xiaomi forked Android and released their own proprietary versions. Commercial vendors want to differentiate with their own proprietary features, but AOSP provides a common OSS platform on which they can work together. This model has been extraordinarily successful for AOSP, as it has led to a billion smartphones running some version of Android and capable of running most common apps, albeit with some fragmentation too. what you described here is a matter of licensing (BSDL vs GPL), not having some closed-source patches. signature.asc Description: PGP signature
