digitalmars.D - DMD 2.68's promised C++ interface
- Shriramana Sharma via Digitalmars-d (10/10) Jul 20 2015 Just now saw Walter's tentative roadmap going forward to 2.69 etc...
- Guillaume Chatelet (8/17) Jul 20 2015 I started working on this but couldn't find enough time lately.
- Jacob Carlborg (6/12) Jul 20 2015 The C++ interoperability has improved a lot in the latest release. A lot...
- Elie Morisse (13/15) Jul 20 2015 Maybe not the original meaning of the promise but:
- jmh530 (2/6) Jul 20 2015 Cool.
- Suliman (3/12) Jul 21 2015 Look at this https://github.com/Syniurge/Calypso there is some
Just now saw Walter's tentative roadmap going forward to 2.69 etc... I don't see anything mentioned about the promised C++ interface. Was I mistaken in thinking that it is part of 2.68? Please can anyone in the know have mercy on us lesser souls and update http://dlang.org/cpp_interface.html in accordance with the latest capabilities? I really really want to interface to Qt 5 and am groping in the dark here as to what to do with c'tors, inheritance, &c &c... -- Shriramana Sharma ஶ்ரீரமணஶர்மா श्रीरमणशर्मा

There are a bunch of things to do : - fix broken extern C++ mangling (I'm rewriting a more complete multi os test suite and started rewriting the mangling code) - add std support in druntime (https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/druntime/pull/1316) - decide what to do with operator overloading and exceptions.

A lot due to the D port of DMD need to be able to interface with the C++ parts. I'm pretty sure the documentation lags behind. -- /Jacob Carlborg

It's pretty close to usability with C++ libraries of any complexity. The approach is not the official one though, and ties yourself to LDC until probably a very long time. (Calypso was helped by the code cleanness of Clang, does GCC offer things like template instantiation or vtable manipulation by an outsider without having to alter too much the code of GCC? and a DMD version would probably be multiple orders of magnitude harder to do)
