Installing DMD on linux via snap
Hi, Even my problem is already solved, I'm passing this information because I don't know if you are aware. Yesterday I needed to install DMD on a fresh installed version of Linux, so since I was using Xubuntu I decided to use snap. sudo snap install dmd Then a warning appeared saying that because some permissions I should add --classic, OK I added and the installation proceeded. So I just ran DMD alone and I got the version and some info, but when I tried to compile a simple Hello world to check if everything was really fine, I was greeted with this: cc: No such file or directory --- errorlevel 255 Looking online I found my answer, this was probably because it was missing GCC, then I did: apt-get install build-essential And after that it worked, but I wonder... couldn't we get a hint about this after or even before installing DMD? I remember installing other applications and being asked to install additional libraries/packages. Couldn't we have the same? Matheus.

Hi Ali, I'm not the author but I have a question, in your second
example, let's say that sometimes it would be required to "draw"
with some scale factor, so (As a newbie) I would do something
like this:
interface Shape {
void draw();
void draw(float scale);
}
Then in Circle class:
void draw(float scale) {
writeln("This circle's radius is ", radius*scale);
}
void draw(){ draw(1); }
Then in Rectangular class:
void draw(float scale) {
writefln!"This rectangle's dimensions are
%sx%s."(width*scale,height*scale);
}
void draw(){ draw(1); }
So calling shape.draw() would draw with the original scale,
otherwise you could call as shape.draw(some_scale);
The problem is these are just 2 shapes and it could be much more,
so it would required to repeat all this.
In D there would be a better way to do such thing?
Thanks,
Matheus.

Ali I don't know if this will be helpful but here it goes, my user case is different since I use D as C on steroids. My first language was C and I have projects in this language which I still maintain and my brain is used to it, but depending the project I'll use D instead of C to use features like: GC, AA, Strings, Modules and maybe Classes if I feel like it, but I don't go to far from these and one reason is sometimes in a rich language with lots of features like D It gets hard to stay up to date. Now I know they must be useful to many others, but one thing that I don't like are the Attributes part, for me there are so many and this is a bit overwhelming (Again to me), for example need to think about: "@safe, @trusted, @system" while still prototyping may be a cumbersome, and if it's giving me trouble I'll just get rid of it. :) Again I should sit and read the documentation or your book again but it's hard to keep up-to-date sometimes with work and so on. By the way I used to program in C# at work too, but I stopped on whatever was the version that runs with .Net 4.6, again this is another case of language changing or adding so many features that I decided not to go on with it, since it's not required where I work (Occasionally I write a few batch programs here and there), and I'm current doing more database business at the company these days, Sorry for any English mistakes, Matheus.

Problem solved. Why write 6 lines when 3 will do?
Just because I'm a simple man. :)
I usually program mostly in C and when in D, I go in the same way
but using features like: GC, strings, AA etc.
Of course your version is a D'ish way of handling things, and I
can't contest it looks better visually. But if size was problem I
could have written:
void main(){
string s, str = "4A0B1de!2C9~6";

it. Don't even ask about C++, because I gave up. :)

Hi,
Wouldn't the compiler be smart with this shadowing variable,
example:
void main(){
int j;
for(int i=0,j=0;i<10;++i){}
return;
}
onlineapp.d(3): Error: variable `j` is shadowing variable
`onlineapp.main.j`
So in the "for loop" shouldn't "i" be declared and "j" just be
assigned to 0?
I mean this is a bit weird, imagine I have different "for loops"
and in this situation I'll need to do this:
j=0;
for(int i=0;i<10;++i){}
Otherwise:
for(i=0,j=0;i<10;++i){}
This works, but now "i" variable will be out of the "for loop"

The thing is, that's a great way for hard-to-identify bugs to
creep into code. In these cases:
auto a = (1).to!int; // this works
auto b = ("1").to!int; // this works
auto c = (1.1).to!int; // this works and c = 1
... then what the programmer wants is unambiguous. In the
first case it's just converting int => int. In the second,
it's converting from a string that unambiguously represents an
integer value, to an int. And in the third, it's converting
_at programmer request_ from a double to an int (which has a
well-defined behaviour).
However, if ("1.1").to!int were to work, this would be the `to`
function making a judgement call on how to handle something
ambiguous. And while that judgement call may be acceptable for
your current use-case, it won't be for others.
I got it everything you said, but like a said previously:
(1.1).to!int vs ("1.1").to!int
One is a decimal literal while the other is a string
representation of a decimal.
To be honest I think the function is already making a judgment
call when I do (1.1).to!int and returns 1, I really fail to see
the difference when is ("1.1").to!int.
I agree with user1234: "The third case is just like `cast(int)
1.1` it's not _at programmer request_ from my point of view, it's
just that the `to` template has not be more restrictive than the
D `cast` expression. `to` should do at least what a `cast` do and
do more when there's no rule for the two types that are involved."
In particular, if `to` just accepted any string numerical
representation for conversion to int, how could the caller
explicitly _exclude_ non-integer input, if that is their
use-case?
Well since the caller is handling a string, shouldn't the caller
verify the content before any conversion?
Because a string may contain a integer, decimal representation or
neither one.
Finally I don't want to make a fuss of it, I just thought it was
a bit weird but it can be solved easily.

Yes you can use foreach, but in this case will not act the way
the OP wanted. In his for loop example the "i" is incremented by
2: "i+=2".
So to perform what OP want with foreach it should be:
foreach (i,j;a){

It's hard to say what features you would take advantage in D as I haven't seen the code in C/C++. However, one thing is clear D would be an easy port because it is so close to C/C++. Every algorithm can be ported directly without any bigger change. If it would Rust you would probably have to rethink some of the data structures and it would be more difficult. Another thing that is clear is that productivity would be high. With today's fast machines and old games you don't have to worry about any GC pauses as there is plenty of time for that. You can basically use the slow "scripting language" features of D. I would expect that D is in the C# ball park in productivity for such task. Thanks for the information.

I'm not the OP but a lurker, and this is new to me, I mean in
your example you're accessing a member "v" which wasn't defined
in the Parent class.
So if someone creates something like this:
class C : A{
string x = "world"; // x instead of v
}
Not the "x" instead of "v", of course it will only get an
compiler error if that function is called in by "C" object.
I think this is a powerful and weird feature at the same time,
because some could write a code like this:
import std.stdio;
class A{
void write(this T)(){
T self = cast(T) this;
writeln(self.v);
}
void write2(this T)(){
T self = cast(T) this;
writeln(self.x);

Yes, but there is a mistake there:
alias is part of the template:
foo(alias x)(){} //note extra parens
than u call like an template:
foo!"a"; //equivalent = foo!("a")();
foo!1;
I see now and thanks.

Let me throw this idea here:

I usually do this too, I like to use struct and then in another
language I use reflection do optimize binding.
Anyway I understood all your code, except for this "alias code"
auto NewWindow( alias code )()
{
mixin("Config config = {"~code~"};");
return Window(config);
}
Looking on specs: https://dlang.org/spec/declaration.html#alias
"AliasDeclarations create a symbol that is an alias for another
type, and can be used anywhere that other type may appear."
So with your example imagine this:
foo(alias x){}
foo("a");
foo(1);
'x' will be string one time and integer another? Or there is
something that I'm missing.
