D2H
Is there any program that can take a D file and essentially make an H file for other programs to import for dll work? I want to create the DLL's in D rather than C++ and would like to generate the H file from the D file.

pointer cast from const(Y) to immutable(void*)** is not supported at compile time
Why does the following work in DMD 2.080 and LDC 1.10, but not in DMD 2.081 and LDC 1.11 beta: https://run.dlang.io/is/dSVruv And is there a way to enforce the cast like a static_cast in C++?

Is there a way to anonymously execute some sh script contents?
Hi, I have some big shell script that may require user input. Using `pipeProcess` doesn't work as `pipe` doesn't allow user to provide custom input (FIXME). I am creating some temporary files, put the script contents to that file and then invoke [code] spawnProcess([/path/to/shell, /path/to/temporary/script/file]); [/code] This works well with user interaction. However I don't really like the idea of using temporary files. Is there any better way? Thanks for your reading.

Re: Small program producing binary with large filesize
On Tuesday, 31 July 2018 at 15:19:19 UTC, Dan Barbarito wrote: Hi all, I am starting to write a command line tool. Hi! First, Vibe.d will increase your binary size because it contains a lot of unnecessary things inside it. So instead of using the entire vibe.d library, you may point dub to specific vibe.d parts, like `vibe.d:core`, `vibe.d:http` etc. If you put the whole vibe.d framework as a dub dependency and use it like `import vibe;` the things like mongodb drivers, email libraries, redis driver etc. will be linked to your binary as well, even if you don't need them. Second, you need to compile your code in the release mode to cut all debug information out of it. Also, you can try to use the `strip` command line tool to cut all export symbols if your binary is an executable file, not a library. This will reduce the size. In some cases a lot. The third thing is already mentioned: by default, the DMD compiler builds and links the code statically. In other words, your binary contains parts of the DRuntime and the Phobos libraries (those parts that you've used in your program). This thing helps to distribute compiled binaries without external dependencies (except libc and libpthread), because your binary is already contains all needed stuff. If you're not happy with it, you can try to use the LDC compiler, which uses the dynamic linking by default. Your binary will be really tiny, but in order to execute it, you'll need to have the libdruntime.so and libphobos.so installed in your system. This may add additional issues if you plan to distribute your program. Sadly, we still don't have the D runtime libraries installed in all popular OSes. Currently only the libc has this privilege I hope the situation will change in the future.

I could have sworn I tested this before I wrote that it's a bug:
struct A {
void fun(int) {}
}
struct B {
A a;
alias a this;
@disable void fun(float);
}
void main() {
B b;
b.fun(3);
}
I was surprised to see it work, as I also thought it'd be a
hijacking issue. Turns out, it doesn't actually work. I must have
made a typo when I tried it. Ah well.

Maybe you can get a simple dll to work?
import core.sys.windows.windows;
import core.sys.windows.dll;
export extern(C) int foo()
{
return 42;
}
mixin SimpleDllMain;
and for the .h file
__declspec(dllimport) int foo();
then in matlab
unloadlibrary test
loadlibrary test
calllib('test', 'foo')
seems to work out.

Hello worlds generally work but without a more complex example I can only assume that it probably will be a PITA when creating a real app. The prototypes I created so far, also a complex application, worked well. What definitely is missing, only a small subset of the available Delphi components are wrapped. Creating/enhancing existing wrappers is rather easy (see e.g. https://github.com/andre2007/delta-fmx-10-2-1/blob/master/source/FMX/Memo.d) I tried to create a Pascal parser which should generate the D wrappers but stopped due to time constraints.

To auto generate, simply set the options to generate the
interface file then use something like sed
sed -i "/^\(export\)/!d" file
sed -i -e "s/export extern (C)/__declspec(dllimport)/g" file
and this will extract the exports and fix up things for matlab to
use.

How to force console
I can create a console for a dll using AllocConsole and special Write functions but this is a pain. How do I get all standard input and output to either use this console or for the app to create the console automatically? The problem I'm having is that I can write(using custom write) but can't read. I'd rather just have a dll with a normal console window like a normal program. I do have `-L/SUBSYSTEM:CONSOLE` but no console appears.

Sorry, scratch that, I forgot the `extern` before the dummy

referencing the symbol in the .data.rel.ro section (LLVM asm,
e.g., `void* getInit() { return __asm!(void*)("movq
test.C.__init, %rax", "={rax}"); }` doesn't work either).
The compiler could emit the init symbol as regular global for
`-betterC` though.

This issue could also be tackled in the D ctor of the
extern(C++) class, by injecting the blit before the actual ctor
body. C++ code wouldn't have to take care about that D-interop
incompatibility anymore (independent of -betterC).
I looked into that approach a little and it was pretty
successful, at least for DMD:
https://run.dlang.io/is/KDHoI9
LDC complains about the type of initializer though:
onlineapp.d(22): Error: Global variable type does not match
previous declaration with same mangled name: _D5bclib3Baz6__initZ
onlineapp.d(22):Previous IR type: %bclib.Baz = type { [1
x i8*]*, i32 }
onlineapp.d(22):New IR type: %bclib.BazInitializer =
type { [1 x i8*]*, i32, [4 x i8] }
Any ideas on how to match the type exactly? I don't quite
understand why there are 4 bytes at the back of BazInitializer.
