Re: Are there plans to make mono D work with current version?

After lots of download, Mono, Gtk#, MSBuild tools, VS 13 commnunity... I get an error saying it won't load my D language binding because my current Mono version is higher than D language binding's supports. Are there any plans to make it work in the current version or any workaround or should I really downgrade everything? I'm asking this here because it's likely to the author of the mono D read that forum (thank you very much for the extension, by the way) Most likely, you are dealing with this issue: https://github.com/aBothe/Mono-D/issues/648 MonoDevelop 5.x is the latest version supported. They haven't gotten around to making it compatible with anything newer due to various reasons, mainly it being that MonoDevelop has completed changed the plugin API again. If you really need Mono-D, you are stuck with MonoDevelop 5.x for now.
Re: DMD Refuses to Compile Multiple Source Files
Import the source file containing the external function instead of writing that prototype. It should compile then.

I don't recall the name, but there is an algorithm for encoding data of an arbitrary number of bytes/bits into a stream of octets. It reserves the MSB of each octet for use as a marker. If it is set to 1, then there are yet more bits to read. If it is set to 0, then this is the last group of bits. This enables each octet to carry 7 bits at a time, while allowing you to encode data of any bit size into an octet stream. You just need to break your data down into groups of 7 bits.
Re: isCopyable and isAssignable

I would imagine that an intermediate value, or other lvalue, may be copyable, but not assignable.
