C++ interops - Githubissues

burner commented 5 years ago

There are many experiments in transparently interfacing D with C++, notably:

dpp by Atila Neves, that parses and translates headers on the fly
Calypso by Elie Morisse that bridges the two languages at the AST level.
DStep by Jacob Carlborg, automatically generates bindings for C and Objective-C code. The task would be to add support for C++.

There is also a lot of work in bringing STL types to the DRuntime (see https://github.com/dlang/druntime/pull/2310).

D would greatly benefit by seamlessly integrating the C++ ecosystem. There are many ways to accomplish this goal and it should be discussed with the community. Andrei already commented on the importance of a tool like Calypso in this thread: https://forum.dlang.org/post/m9s4cd$2s1v$1@digitalmars.com

See also https://github.com/kaleidicassociates/cpp-reflect-d - a wrapper around cppyy fork of cling from CERN. This allows compilation and reflection of C++ code at D runtime. The open-sourced version is the initial commit of a project that is under development internally at Symmetry. It will be open-sourced when more useful to others.
