I have been trying to actualize the http://www.dsource.org/projects/dallegro binings to the lastest D2 version.
The main problems are:
*TLS
*volatile isn't here anymore ( neither with -d )

One of the most hard things to understand was things like:

mixin(_volatile("int", "key_shifts"));
and  _volatile_setter things.

Especially when you have things like:

char* allegro_id;

and  then:

import allegro.internal.dintern;
static this() {
   allegro_id = allegro.internal.dintern.allegro_id.ptr;
   allegro_error = allegro.internal.dintern.allegro_error.ptr;
   cpu_vendor = allegro.internal.dintern.cpu_vendor.ptr;
   //_system_driver_list = allegro.misc._system_driver_list.ptr;
}
A strange way of wraping.

Sooooooooo...
Are there other bindings to allegro?
Does anyone has actualized this bindings?
Is Someone interested in helping?
Should i abdicate?

Downgrade your compiler version.

Every version after 2.028 has bugs which prevent non trivial programmes compiling or have language changes which break just about ever existing library.

You can remove volatile by just building with -version=NoVolatile.  But I suppose it won't work unless you add __gshared to all the non-const globals.  Or something, I'm not using D 2 myself.

It's to make it easy to build both with and without volatile.  Most of this stuff is explained in the readme or somewhere in the code itself.

I know there's someone working on allegro 5 bindings, but I don't think they're done yet.  No announcement has been made.  But if you want to update dallegro, I'll try to answer questions at least.
