I've succeeded in bridging some of the most critical Objective-C internals
(classes and objects), and am
proud to say that I am now able to introspect the ObjC runtime from D.  I ported
O'Reilly "Inside the

For those with OS X boxes, I'm attaching the source code.  Compiling is a little tricky:

/usr/local/gdc/bin/gdc -c main.d objc.d hashtable.d
gcc -lSystem -framework Cocoa main.o objc.o hashtable.o
/usr/local/gdc/lib/libphobos.a /usr/local/
gdc/lib/gcc-lib/powerpc-apple-darwin7.3.0/3.3.3/libgcc.a
/a.out

Hi,

I compiled your docoa-sources today, using the following commandline:

gdc -Wl,-framework,Cocoa main.d objc.d hashtable.d -o docoa

It works great... it produces 40000+ lines of output :)

With these instructions i was able to compile a program that runs SysBeep OMFG!!! A couple more hours and i'll be able to write a whole application in D! j/k

Thanks for the info.  Gdc rocks.  Can't wait for the latest release *ahem*

I want to use start exposing Carbon to D and go grab those Core32 interfaces and GTK interfaces and maybe we could work on some kind of Cross-platform API standard for D.   That'd be awesome.

It's very foreign. It runs in x-server.

The GTK on MacOS X is even worse than on Windows.
