I dont know why I'm posting this now, since I have no way of getting the module on to the internet right now, but anyway..

I've written a nice set of D classes today that extract the type information from a mangled D symbol, like "_D3std4testFAaZv".  You've all seen them before I'm sure.  Anyway, this module will transform that string into "void std.test(char[])" (with optional support for ANSI syntax highlighting on the Linux console    Ooooohh Aaaaah).

A nice way of storing the types in classes is employed.  A DType class is the base class of any D type.  A DReservedType class exists to hold a basic type (int, uint, void, etc.), but I should really use DTypeInt, DTypeUInt, DTypeVoid, etc. instead (separate class per each basic type).  Every class overrides the toString() function to return the D type as a string, which is very nice.

This should prove to be useful in writing my IDE once I get the code-parsing module done.  Then I can have both compiled-library AND source-code-parsed code-completion info to play with!

P.S. - I'll release the module once I get my network switch back from a friend. I left it there at a LAN party... dammit.  Then I can connect the internet modem-equipped PC with my development PC and upload the module!  Yargh.

James Dunne

I threw it on a digital camera!  How nice... Enjoy it!

Lol!  Now that's a McGyver move, if I ever saw one!

A couple of weeks ago I went from Outlook Express to Thunderbird. Both files attached yesterday (this one and phobos-nogc.zip) couldn't be downloaded by TB. I mean, the message is downloaded, and the attachements are there, but it just doesn't open them. I had to save the messages as .eml and then open them with OE to get the dsymextract.d (phobos-nogc.zip was a no-go since it's a 2 part message).
Anyway, did anyone else experience that? Does it have a solution?

Hello Carlos,

I'm using Thunderbird v1.0 on WinXP for email and newsgroup management.     It worked for me.  The attachment appears as a file listed in a separate widget just below the message window.  It says "Attachments:" to the left of it followed by the file name.  I'm not sure why it's not working for you.  Perhaps there's a feature in the settings that enables/disables attachments?

Later,

John

Hi John,
No, the attachments show up, but I can't open them (nothing happens) or save them ("unable to save"). And if I try to see the message source, the source window shows up empty. Then I save the message, and OE can open it and the attachment, but TB just shows the message and no attachment. And I don't think there's something wrong with my configuration, because email attachments work fine. Kinda weird, me thinks.

That is kinda weird.  I'm able to simply right click on the file attachment, choose "save as" and voila... it works.  Strange that your's doesn't want to save :-(.  I hope you figure it out.

Really strange. Mine works too.
