Mike, is there any news with your Demios project?

Alternatively, what is the current best practical
way to convert "living" (--> constant maintenance)
C headers to D for interfacing libraries?

Thanks,

I've not done much on it for a while, I found that using regexp's was not
powerfull enough.
and the file I wanted to convert (directX headers) needed quite a bit of
manual intervention
C++ COM objects declare all the methods each time, D one don't
nested unions and structs where a pain.

someone else was working on a tool. I left the "transforms" online as they
are basically all you need to do.
30 mins of search and replace, a few extra align1's and a bit of
reformatting and your there.

I might find out why my last set of changes stopped it working (tried to fix
some problems with defines inside struct defs)
and put the src online.

That "someone else" promised to be me. I haven't had time. And i'm very 
tired. So i haven't even actually begun. However, if someone were to 
help me, then i would gladly help him. [guess i need more motivation] :>
Anyone willing to help or be helped can contact me on email.
