Separate `core.stdcpp` into its own library

Geod24 commented 1 year ago

Description

Currently, druntime contains core.stdcpp. This creates a few problems, and was essentially a mistake. It needs to be moved to its own repository. This has been approved by Walter.

What are rough milestones of this project?

Create a repository for core.stdcpp;
Copy the code the code there;
Put in place a comprehensive CI, which uses DMD at least, ideally LDC and GDC as well;
Add a dub package;
Deprecate the bindings in druntime;

How does this project help the D community?

Improving C++ integration.

This has been discussed in the Industry meeting. I (@Geod24 ) brought it up and @WalterBright approved it.

Geod24 commented 1 year ago

Currently core.stdcpp needs to be compiled in druntime, which limits usage to a single C++ std lib, the one we decide to compile with.

This is in progress under https://github.com/dlang/stdcpp

@Geod24 Can this be removed from the projects list? Or should it be modified/resubmitted to reflect the current state of the repo?

On second thought, I'll go ahead and close it. If there's more work to be done on it, please open a new issue as a new project describing what needs to be done.
