I agree that Jacob's description makes things more clear, added!

I posted some thoughts on web docs writeup of C+= interface here.

Do you think we could make binaries of calypso available for download ?  I know it is alpha, but it is so strategically important, and just getting clang to build is not always so easy given the stuff in gcc 4.9 with size__align_t ?

We should mention calypso in the web docs, and link to it too (with appropriate caveats).

It feel slightly too early, Calypso shouldn't be far from getting most of the C++ standard library to work but it still chokes on most tangles of templates (afaics it all boils down to a few issues). Also operators, function templates and merging latest LDC would be nice and not a lot of work away (last merge was mid-October, before better Win64 ABI support).

As soon as this is done I'll make builds for Windows and Linux users.

Thanks.  People like to play with things when it is easy, and bear in mind what the present alternative is.  But I respect your desire to maintain a standard of quality.

What is the progress on this project? I am planning of working on a game project that involves using physx and offcourse D. It looks like there would be a lot of work just writing D boilerplate code to interface with C++ and alot of unknowns it seems.

With this realized as a clang plugin, its supposed to automatically generate the bindings for D?
