hello, i'm in the process of trying to get openal to work with d. i've tried converting the following code to D (i think this is where the problem lies, because my printf's never get past the alutLoadVorbis function).

c code...
typedef ALboolean (vorbisLoader)(ALuint, ALvoid *, ALint);
vorbisLoader *alutLoadVorbisp = NULL;

..etc

alutLoadVorbisp(vorbbuf, data, size);

d code...
/* our vorbis extension */
alias ALboolean (vorbisLoader)(ALuint, ALvoid *, ALint);
vorbisLoader *alutLoadVorbisp = null;

..etc

alutLoadVorbisp(vorbbuf, data, size);

i've attached the whole file incase someone wants to take a look at what else might be causing the problem. i also have code like this

if(stat(fname, &sbuf) == -1)
{
return -1;
}

printf("got stat info\n");

size = sbuf.st_size;
data = malloc(size);
if(data == null) {
exit(1);
}

in here that might be causing the problem. i dunno. any help would be highly appreciated. thx.

you probably want "data is null" since == will seg-v if data is null. Most of time == in C should be converted to "is" in D and != to either !== or !(.. is ..)

well i changed == to is and != to !== , but it still seg faults in the same place.

Just a thought: is "data" on the stack, or inside of a class?  Maybe the *location* of data is no good, rather than just it's value.

You might want to compile and run the C version as well, if you are using the latest version of OAL and haven't run it already. I've heard several reports of crashing since when using the latest.
