Pretty much so.  The intention is that assert means something 
that's supposed to be true (and can be assumed in release) while 
enforce means something you want to be true (but can't guarantee).


E.g., you can assert that a list is sorted after running heapsort 
on it, but you need to enforce that a file is in the correct 
format.

foreach for string[string]AA

2017-02-28 Thread Anton Pastukhov via Digitalmars-d-learn

I can't see the logic in AA foreach order. Consider this code:

```
void main() {
string[string] test = [
"one": "1",
"two": "2",
"three": "3",
"four": "4"
];

import std.stdio:writeln;

foreach(k, v; test) {
writeln(k);
}
}

Output:
three
two
one
four

I was sure output should be
one
two
three
four

AA implemented as hash table, so it doesn't preserve insertion 
order. You have to sort keys when you need:


import std.algorithm;
import std.stdio;
void main() {
auto aa = ["one":1,
   "two":2
   ];
foreach(k; sort(aa.keys)) {
writeln(k);
}
}

That will only work if sorting recovers the insertion order. An 
easy way to save the insertion order would be to use an array of 
structs. If an associate array is really needed, you can create a 
struct that contains the associative array and a string[] holding 
the keys.

Thank you for quick replies. I'm used to arrays in PHP that are 
actually ordered maps, so I was expected the same from D's AAs. 
For now I'm fine with array of structs.


Building a project with CMAKE

2017-02-28 Thread berni via Digitalmars-d-learn
I'm using CMAKE to build my project. With 
https://github.com/dcarp/cmake-d this works almost. The only 
thing I do not manage to get working is running cmake in release 
mode. When I use -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release I get some linker 
errors, which I do not get, when compiling manually. (In both 
cases gdc/linux is used.)


I allready could figure out, that it's due to the -O3 compiler 
flag used in release mode. It looks like cmake compiles all *.d 
files separately and while doing so, removes some functions when 
optimizing them. Later, when linking everything together, they 
are missing. (But I'm not sure on this.)


Here is my project: https://github.com/crocopaw/croco/tree/devel

Anybody here who has experience with CMAKE and D and could help?

Mixing libraries

2017-02-28 Thread Jordan Wilson via Digitalmars-d-learn

Hello,

Been trying to learn the Simple Fast Multimedia Library (SFML) 
using the Derelict bindings, and noticed some functionality is 
offered by both SFML and the std library (for example, sfClock 
and sfMutex).


Is there a general design principle of, say, use the std library 
whenever possible and only SFML when I have too? Or should I try 
to be consistent and use SFML library whenever possible?


Thanks,

Getting underlying struct for parseJSON

2017-02-28 Thread Alexey H via Digitalmars-d-learn

Hello, guys!

I'm working on a project that involves parsing of huge JSON 
datasets in real-time.

Just an example of what i'm dealing with is here:

https://gist.githubusercontent.com/gdmka/125014058bb7d7f01b867fac56300a61/raw/f0c6b5be5fb01b16dd83f07c577b72f76f72c855/data.json

Can't think of any tools other that D or Go to solve this problem.

My experience of solving the problem with Go has led me to 
Stackoverflow and the community out there seemed too reluctant to 
help so i assumed that the language cannot handle such a set of 
operations on complex datastructures.


My experience with D was like a charm. Where i have had ~100 
lines of Go code i did the same  with 12 in with D. But, 
nevertheless, i did some profiling (unfortunately on OS X) and 
saw much heavier CPU usage with D than Go. Probably because the 
Go solution was unpacking all the data strictly to struct.


So, my real question is: can i actually, by any change, get the 
description of an underlying struct that the call to parseJSON 
generates?


The goers have this thing https://mholt.github.io/json-to-go/ to 
generate structs from JSON automatically.


Since D easily parses JSON by type inference, i assume it builds 
a JSONValue struct which holds all the fields and the data.


If it is possible, then i can build a similar JSON to D tool just 
for the sake of saving people's time and patience.

I am not expecting good results from stdlib's json. As for now i 
just need a concise way to get 1.2-1.5 MB JSON and dump it into a 
struct to perform numeric computations. Since it's not the only 
data source i will be parsing, i need a straightforward way to 
generate D structs right out of the predefined JSON schema. So i 
am willing to sacrifice some speed for convenience at this point.


Fastjson might be good when dealing with trusted input, but this 
is not my case.

It doesn't actually generate one, it just returns a tagged union 
(a kind of dynamic type).


But, my json inspector program (never finished btw) has something 
that can kinda generate structs from json: 
https://github.com/adamdruppe/inspector


I ran your data.json through my program, and it spat this out 
(well, not directly, I did a few minor tweaks by hand since it 
doesn't output 100% valid D, but it is a good start):


struct Json_t {
struct sports_t {
long regionId;
string name;
long id;
string sortOrder;
long parentId;
string kind;
}
sports_t[] sports;

long siteVersion;

struct eventBlocks_t {
long[] factors;
long eventId;
string state;
}
eventBlocks_t[] eventBlocks;

struct customFactors_t {
long lo;
long e;
bool isLive;
double v;
string pt;
long f;
long p;
long hi;
}
customFactors_t[] customFactors;

struct announcements_t {
long segmentId;
string place;
bool liveHalf;
long regionId;
string name;
long[] tv;
string segmentName;
string segmentSortOrder;
long id;
long num;
string namePrefix;
string team1;
long startTime;
long sportId;
string team2;
}
announcements_t[] announcements;

struct events_t {
long level;
string sortOrder;
string place;
string name;
long rootKind;
long parentId;
long id;
long num;
string namePrefix;
string team1;
long kind;
struct state_t {
bool inHotList;
bool willBeLive;
bool liveHalf;
}
state_t state;
long startTime;
long sportId;
long priority;
string team2;
}
events_t[] events;
long packetVersion;
struct eventMiscs_t {
long liveDelay;
long timerUpdateTimestamp;
long[] tv;
string comment;
long score2;
long servingTeam;
long id;
long timerSeconds;
long timerDirection;
long score1;
}
eventMiscs_t[] eventMiscs;
long fromVersion;
long factorsVersion;
}


And I *think* my jsvar.d has magic methods to load up one of 
those but since my jsvar.d just uses std.json and then builds 
up junk on top of it, it will necessarily be even slower than 
what you already have :S so meh.

It's a bit OT, but asdf is even faster and has a simple API:

https://github.com/tamediadigital/asdf

In terms of performance:

Reading JSON line separated values and parsing them to ASDF - 
300+ MB per second (SSD).
Writing ASDF range to JSON line separated values - 300+ MB per 
second (SSD).


Another good library is std.data.json (Json parsing extracted 
from Vibe.d):

Alignment of struct containing SIMD field - GDC

2017-02-28 Thread Cecil Ward via Digitalmars-d-learn

struct vec_struct {
alias field this;
bool b;
int8 field;
}

In this code when you look at the generated x64 code output by 
GDC it seems to be doing a nice job, because it has got the 
offset right for the 256-bit YMM 'field' correct.


Does D automatically propagate the alignment restrictions on the 
field to the allocation of static structs or structs on the stack?


In this case:

struct vec_struct {
bool b2;
struct {
alias field this;
bool b;
int8 field;
}
}
it appears that the offset to 'field' is no longer aligned 
correctly - offset is 40 bytes in GDC. I don't suppose the 
compiler will use solely unaligned instructions? In any event, I 
could take the address of field and then pass that to someone 
expecting to pick up something with guaranteed correct alignment, 
if I have understood the D docs.


Please don't bite. I'm both new to D and I hope I have understood 
the x86 SIMD instructions' docs. (Very experienced professional 
asm and C programmer, but v out-of-date.)


Noob q: I notice that the GDC opcodes look a bit odd, for example 
the compiler generates a 256-bit unaligned fetch followed by an 
aligned binary operation (I think), eg a movdqu followed by a 
vpaddd r, ymm ptr blah - is the latter aligned-only? Apologies if 
I have got this wrong, need to read up. Would someone 
sanity-check me?


How do I get names of regex captures during iteration? Populate AAs with captures?

2017-02-28 Thread Chad Joan via Digitalmars-d-learn
Is there a way to get the name of a named capture when iterating 
over captures from a regular expression match?  I've looked at 
the std.regex code and it seems like "no" to my eyes, but I 
wonder if others here have... a way.


My original problem is this: I need to populate an associative

was wondering what the best way to do this might be.
