You're looking at std.parallelism.TaskPool, especially the amap 
and reduce functions. Should do pretty much exactly what you're 
asking.


auto taskpool = new TaskPool();
taskpool.reduce!((a, b) => a + b)(iota(1_000_000_000_000L));


I get "Error: template instance `reduce!((a, b) => a + b)` cannot 
use local __lambda1 as parameter to non-global template 
reduce(functions...)" when trying to compile that using the 
online D editor with DMD and LDC.


Any ideas?

That's a long standing issue:

Using a string for the expression does work though:
```
import std.stdio, std.parallelism, std.range;

void main() {
taskPool.reduce!"a + b"(iota(1_000L)).writeln;
}
```

You can use a free-standing function as a workaround, which is included 
in the following chapter that explains most of std.parallelism:


  http://ddili.org/ders/d.en/parallelism.html

That chapter is missing e.g. the newly-added fold():

Converting a character to upper case in string

2018-09-21 Thread NX via Digitalmars-d-learn
How can I properly convert a character, say, first one to upper 
case in a unicode correct manner?
In which code level I should be working on? Grapheme? Or maybe 
code point is sufficient?


There are few phobos functions like asCapitalized() none of which 
are what I want.

I would probably go for std.utf.decode [1] to get the character 
and its length in code units, capitalize it, and concatenate the 
result with the rest of the string.

This will capitalize graphemes as a whole, and might be better

From what I've tested; it seems sufficient. I might be wrong

have a look at grapheme related functions.

Get variables with call stack

Hello! I need to make a some sort of error report system for an 
application. I want to catch base Exception class instance and 
report call stack and with the call stack I want to report all 
variables with their values. There are a couple of services that

Sentry.io, New Relic etc.

I know you fixed the problem, but just an FYI, the reason is 
because when you import rollDice, you bring both rollDice the 
module and rollDice the function into the global namespace 
(which confuses the compiler 'cause it doesn't know what symbol 
you want to use).  This is normally avoided in libraries by 
having a package tree.  So for example, if you created 
everything in the subdirectory foo, and had your modules be:


module foo.diceroller;
import foo.rollDice;

Then the import would import the module foo.rollDice, and the 
function rollDice, and the compiler would no longer be confused 
about what you are trying to call.


IMO, this makes it difficult to write multi-file applications 
that live in one directory.  It would be nice if this was 
changed...

I know this thread is quite old but I still seem to be getting a 
similar error and don't understand how to resolve it. I currently 
have a program isPrime.d that I would like to reuse in other 
programs:


isPrime.d:
bool isPrime(int n) {
// logic to check if n is prime
}

main.d:
import isPrime;
void main() {
isPrime(x);
}

Both files are in the same directory. When compiling main.d, I 
get:
Error: function expected before (), not module isPrime of type 
void


I've tried changing the name of the function isPrime in isPrime.d 
to something else (as well as changing the name in the main 
program) but then I get an error similar to:

In function `_Dmain':
main.d:(.text._Dmain[_Dmain]+0x83): undefined reference to 
`_D7isPrime3isPFiZb'

collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

You probably shouldn't name a module the same as a member anyway,

But the fix here is to just use the full name.

Thanks for your help, Adam!  Right after posting my question, I

Based on that and your recommendation, here is what I ended up 
doing:
I changed the filename of isPrime.d to isprime.d and put that in 
the subdirectory func/:


func/isprime.d:
module func.isprime;
bool isPrime(int n) {
// check to see if n is prime
}

I then changed main.d to:
import func.isprime;
void main() {
isPrime(x);
}

Finally, per your suggestion, I compiled it using:
dmd -i main.d

The only way to do that would be using a debugger.

The specifics of the solution would thus depend on the platform. 
On POSIX, it would probably mean getting gdb to print a detailed 
backtrace for your project. On Windows, you might be able to 
achieve this by spawning a thread which then uses dbgeng.dll to 
get a detailed stack trace.

One thing to note: only variables in stack frames since the most 
top-level exception block will be visible (so, you'll also need 
to disable D runtime's standard exception handler). The reason 
for this is that exceptions do not capture the entire stack, but 
extract only a stack trace during instantiation, so to get the 
entire stack, you'd need to breakpoint _d_throw or such, but at 
that point you don't know if you're within an exception frame 
ready to catch the thrown exception.


In short: there is no easy way, in the general sense.

If you can find something that achieves what you need in C++, 
there's a good chance that it would work to some extent (or could
