Hi, it seems that the idea of using doxygen xml output to generate D bindings was not that bad. I am pretty happy to see that exactly this happens in wxWidgets 2.9.4,
https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets/blob/master/docs/doxygen/scripts/make_bindings.py

Generating C functional wrappers is already pretty cool, but the fantastic news is SWIG output! As you may have noticed, SWIG has D support. Means :  No need to manually re-create C++ classes in D.

Holy crap.

Does SWIG D support static linking by now?

I don't think so. I use swig for d, c#, php, python but it always build shared libraries.

Thank you very much for the news!!

Let's see how it would influence wxD. ;)

Ah, kudos to David Nadlinger.

Ya sorry David , I couldn't remember your name.
Guess David's help is needed anyway to make wxWidgets 4D a success.

Random thoughts.
I think the challege will be to create a reasonable message system. The old WxD projects mimics the MESSAGEMAP() thing. I think a better solution would be to use wxWidgets connect() and to design a D-ish NET like message system. The cleanest D implementation I have seen so far is part of the DGUI project.

SWIG : I think we have to modify : https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets/blob/master/docs/doxygen/scripts/swig_tools.py a bit, in order to enable SWIG to generate D2 code.

Which wxWidget Version ?
IMO at least 2.9x to avoid the UNICODE - non UNICODE stress. Probably 2.9.4 is the best choice (doxygen wise) which will arrive AFAIK in February.

How to setup the project ? just the modified Python scripts and some docs?  Dunno.

Thoughts ?

From the docs
20.10 Work in progress and planned features

There are a couple of features which are not implemented yet, but would be very useful and might be added in the near future:

Static linking: Currently, the C wrapper code is compiled into a dynamic library, out of which the symbol addresses are looked up at runtime by the D part. If statically linking the different languages into one binary was supported, a tool-chain capable of performing IPO at link time could inline the wrapping code, effectively reducing the overhead for simple calls to zero.

Maybe someone should send David some cookies :)

I agree.

wxD is now at github, so there is possibility to fork it...personally I prefer hg over git, but can try to use hg-git for the sake of wxD. :-)
