Stride in foreach ranges
Is there a better way to express a range with stride than this: foreach (i; iota(0, N, 2)) Maybe something similar to F# syntax: foreach (i; 0..2..N) I found this thread suggesting syntax improvement http://forum.dlang.org/thread/bug-411...@http.d.puremagic.com/issues/ but I don't think it produced any results. BTW, DMD produces faster code when for loop is used instead, with GDC it makes no difference.

Problem with rdmd
On Linux 64 $chmod +x htest $cat ./htest #!/usr/bin/env rdmd import std.stdio; void main() { writeln(hello world!); } then: $./htest Error: cannot read file ./htest.d Failed: 'dmd' '-v' '-o-' './htest.d' '-I.' OTOH: $cp htest htest.d $./htest.d hello world! It seems that rdmd expects the script to bear the .d extension. This is not a very good choice, at least when writing git helper scripts. For example, a $git command command would eventually try to execute the executable (script): $git-command The problem is that that line expects git-command, not git-command.d. A workaround for this? Thanks

A bit more detailed manual setup is documented in vibe.d github repository manual : https://github.com/rejectedsoftware/vibe.d Most likely, you need to install libevent and openssl to fix linking errors. What is the way you have installed vibe.d with? `dub` package manager is usually considered default and most user-friendly approach and it should take care of dependencies. There is also an AUR package for Arch Linux (don't know about other distros)
Template overload causing an error even when a better non-template match is found
You're going to need DMD git-head to run this reduced example: - struct S { void opAssign(T)(T t) if (Constraint!T) { } void opAssign(typeof(null)) { } template Constraint(T) if (is(T == int)) { enum bool Constraint = false; } } void main() { S s; s = null; } - This fails with: test.d(6): Error: template instance Constraint!(typeof(null)) does not match template declaration Constraint(T) if (is(T == int)) However I don't think the compiler should even attempt to instantiate the template when there's a better non-template overload match. The code example is contrived, but in the real code there's several overloads of Constraint which do more sophisticated checking on their type (some work on functions, others on delegates, structs, classes, etc). Hence why the constraint templates themselves need to have constraints, but this is then causing the above error. I'm not looking for a workaround (there's plenty of ways to work around this), but I think this should be filed as a bug?

The compiler considers only the element type of the static array. Maybe a more appropriate question is: Is all stack data guaranteed to be properly aligned, and on all platforms?

For example: enum Size = paddedSize!C; ubyte[1] preBuffer; ubyte[Size][2] buffer; Is 'buffer' guaranteed to be aligned so its memory begins at a good offset? I don't think so because the elements are ubytes and they can be placed any odd address. Perhaps it works on the stack but the following align(1) struct demonstrates that your buffer can be at an odd address: import std.stdio; align(1) struct S { ubyte[1] preBuffer; ubyte[16][2] buffer; } void main() { writeln(S.preBuffer.offsetof);// prints 0 writeln(S.buffer.offsetof); // prints 1 } Ali

But I think it plays correctly, I was able to finish a game. -- Speaking of card games, did you know Windows comes with a cards.dll that can draw a set of playing cards? It is used for built in games like Solitare. And you can use it too! Here's an example of how: http://arsdnet.net/dcode/wincards.d See the main function at the bottom of the file. The main() depends on (the newer version of) my simpledisplay.d and color.d (also shows how to use some of the input event improvements I've made over the last couple weeks!) https://github.com/adamdruppe/misc-stuff-including-D-programming-language-web-stuff The sample program puts two cards on the screen and lets you drag them around with the mouse. Only works on MS Windows.

It's an old task (from 2007). The task description was changed after the D entries were made. http://rosettacode.org/mw/index.php?title=File_IOdiff=25166oldid=21823 So it needs to be updated.

how to print the tested-condition in myAsssert -- stringification needed
I'm using the myAssert() suggested by others in the D forum, with a few tweaks: void myAssert(int line = __LINE__, string file = __FILE__, Args...)(lazy bool condition, lazy Args args) { string string_version_of_condition = //? how? if (!condition) { writefln(Assertion (%s) failed @ %s:%d in test '%s', string_version_of_condition, file, line, currentTestName); foreach(a; args) { write( assert-extra: ); writeln(a); } exit(1); } } } This is great, but I would also like to print out the stringified version of the condition, so that the assert shows me the text of the failed test-condition. e.g. myAssert(1 == 0); // should result in: Assertion (1 == 0) failed @ test.d:34 in test 'bool test' How to I initialize string_version_of_condition? In C/C++, I'd use a macro and token pasting.
