I set out last night to port code to D for the first time.  The code concerned is a sort code which is passed an array of values and an array of pointers and uses its own arrays internally.

I had to rewrite the definitions of the arrays to be dynamic and find out about setting the size of the arrays.  After that the code worked unchanged.

This particular code has a history. It started in FORTRAN in about 1988 and I translated it to C using FOR_C.  Then I made it into a C++ class, and now it is in D.

I need to tidy it up a bit more, but will then contribute it. Incidentally, is there a contribution section somewhere?

Not yet. But I believe it's time to have one, either provider by DM, or the community...

I'll have to ask Jan, who runs the web site. -Walter
