I tried again, got a little further, and finally gave up. It was just too insanely complicated to figure out what was intended or what dmc didn't like about certain sections of those convoluted templates.

I see you've converted a sizeable portion of RakNet into D.  That's no easy task.  Trying to read and interpret that C++ would be challenging to say the least.  I'll look into it.  If I can add to it, I'll do what I can.

Thanks for all the hard work you've done so far.  Despite it's being in C++, Raknet does look like a very solid library.

And I sent one directly to the author.

A nice one, mind you.  I didn't sound cranky like I did here. ;)

I finally applied numerous hacks to get raknet to build under the DMC compiler, but there are still serious linking issues...

Here is a 'sample' of what i'm getting in case anyone else knows what is going on...

I also am going to check out mike's port now...

All I can say is a heartfelt "Wow."  I had given up. You didn't.  What I was afraid of was that my hacks were inserting dangerous fixes into the code.

Yes, I discussed "similar" errors earlier.... I think at dsource.org. DMC, for some reason, imports every instance of "const PlayerID UNASSIGNED_PLAYER_ID;" into each object file, instead of making a single global instance of it.  UNASSIGNED_PLAYER_ID is located in raknet\include\NetworkTypes.h.  PlayerID is a struct with operator overloads declared in the same file.  For some reason, any file that includes this header, seems to get a separate UNASSIGNED_PLAYER_ID added to the global space.  When you try to put all objects together in a library... I'm guessing they conflict.  I don't know if that's how it works, but it sure seems to.  The best I can think of is to follow Walter's suggestion and use obj2asm on each object file to see what symbols are in there.  I don't know how to prevent this.  It's certainly very strange.

I don't think it would be that bad for someone who is intimately familiar with the raknet code and what it is trying to do. It would be pretty hard for anyone else, though.

What often happens is professionals stick to a subset of C++ that tends to work across compilers. Then there are also those who simply must rely on the behavior of every corner case; they tend to spend a lot of time struggling with diverse compilers. As anyone can see with the DMD front end code, I am in the former camp <g>.

There was nothing else comparable in power in the late 80's and early 90's, not even close.

> As it turns out, the DLL version of RakNet, with a C wrapping, is the best option for interfacing with D, at the moment (dsource.org apparently already had such a wrapping).  Recoding in D would be a clean solution, though a hefty one and bug prone for the first long while. We'll see what comes of this.

I'd still like to see it in D <g>.

That means getBE(unsigned short) is multiply defined. Doing a grep for the identifier in the .obj files should help.

Ahh thanks. I've managed to get my symbol error list down to...

AES128.obj:..?set_key@AES128@@QAEXPBE@Z..

I'm going to play around with the source some more, but if anything is immedietely obvious or if you have any helpful hints/suggestions they would be much appreciated. Thanks.

nevermind I've managed to get it down to just
