Is there an htod for linux or an equivalent that works with Cpp, there is dstep but it does not support Cpp.

From the very bottom of the htod doc page [1]:

"No Linux version."

That's a shame, any alternative with cpp support? It's quite painful to "port" something ubiquitous like std::string by hand. base_string.h is ugly, is arcane, even a parser would have a hard time with it. Hopefully it gets in core.stdcpp in the future.

The only thing I'm aware of is Binderoo [1]. According to the currently skinny wiki, binderoo_util [2] can be used to generate bindings if you're invested in using the whole set up. Ethan's scheduled to give a talk about it on Day 2 of DConf [3].

Thanks, I'll try that.

I think we need a dub package for the cpp standard library. If somebody has managed to get that together, it would be a great step towards better cpp interoperability.

You may also want to try dstep - I just recently used that tool for the first time, and it worked really well (required a bit of tweaking of the source and result files though, but nothing major).

However, I wouldn't be surprised to get good results on wine.
