hi
Hive been trying to create a simple interface to a also simple c++ header file. Any help is appreciated since I've been for several days trying to solve this using different approaches but unsuccessfully(D newbie).
----------------------------------------
The header file "thetest.h":
#ifndef THETEST_H
#define THETEST_H
class TheTest
{
public:
    TheTest (int);
    void myfirst ( int myf );
    void mysecond ( int myff );
    ~TheTest();
private:
    int p_Myf;
    int p_Myff;
    int p_Mytotal;
};
----------------------------------------
The cpp file "thetest.cpp":
#include "thetest.h"
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
  TheTest::TheTest (int mytot)
  {
    p_Mytotal = mytot;
  }
  TheTest::~TheTest()
  {
  }
  void TheTest::myfirst (int myf) {
    p_Myf = myf;
    cout << p_Mytotal << endl;
    cout << p_Myf << endl;
  }
  void TheTest::mysecond ( int myff ) {
    p_Myff = myff;
    cout << p_Myff << endl;
  }
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The interface created by BCD "thetest.d":
/* THIS FILE GENERATED BY bcd.gen */
module bcd.my4.thetest;
align(4):
public import bcd.bind;
public import bcd.my4.thetest;
extern (C) void _BCD_delete_7TheTest(void *);
extern (C) void *_BCD_new__ZN7TheTestC1Ei(int);
extern (C) void _BCD__ZN7TheTest7myfirstEi(void *This, int);
extern (C) void _BCD__ZN7TheTest8mysecondEi(void *This, int);
extern (C) void _BCD_RI_7TheTest(void *cd, void *dd);
extern (C) void _BCD_delete_7TheTest__TheTest_R(void *This);
extern (C) void *_BCD_new__ZN7TheTestC1Ei_R(int);
class TheTest : bcd.bind.BoundClass {
this(ifloat ignore) {
super(ignore);
}
this(ifloat ignore, void *x) {
super(ignore);
__C_data = x;
__C_data_owned = false;
}
~this() {
if (__C_data && __C_data_owned) _BCD_delete_7TheTest(__C_data);
__C_data = null;
}
this(int _0) {
super(cast(ifloat) 0);
__C_data = _BCD_new__ZN7TheTestC1Ei(_0);
__C_data_owned = true;
}
void myfirst(int myf) {
_BCD__ZN7TheTest7myfirstEi(__C_data, myf);
}
void mysecond(int myff) {
_BCD__ZN7TheTest8mysecondEi(__C_data, myff);
}
}
class TheTest_R : TheTest {
~this() {
if (__C_data && __C_data_owned) _BCD_delete_7TheTest__TheTest_R(__C_data);
__C_data = null;
}
this(int _0) {
super(cast(ifloat) 0);
__C_data = _BCD_new__ZN7TheTestC1Ei_R(_0);
__C_data_owned = true;
_BCD_RI_7TheTest(__C_data, cast(void *) this);
}}
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D module "header_tit.d":
import bcr = bcd.my4.thetest;

void main()
{
  int a=6;
  int b=7;

 bcr.TheTest myts = new bcr.TheTest (a+b);
 //myts.my_first(a);
 //myts.my_second(b);
}
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I then compile this using:
g++ thetest.cpp -c
#gdmd header_tit.d thetest.o -L-lstdc++
    header_tit.o: In function `_Dmain':
   header_tit.d:(.text+0x20): undefined reference to      `_D7thetest7TheTest7__ClassZ'
    header_tit.d:(.text+0x2f): undefined reference to `_D7thetest7TheTest5_ctorMUiZC7thetest7TheTest'
    collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Even with an interface create by me for d header file
file "thetest.d":
extern (C) {
class TheTest
{
public:
    this (int);
    void myfirst ( int myf );
    void mysecond ( int myff );
    ~this();
private:
    int p_Myf;
    int p_Myff;
    int p_Mytotal;
}}
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
making the needed changes in header_tit.d the output is the same
#gdmd header_tit.d thetest.o -L-lstdc++
header_tit.o: In function `_Dmain':
header_tit.d:(.text+0x20): undefined reference to `_D7thetest7TheTest7__ClassZ'
header_tit.d:(.text+0x2f): undefined reference to `_D7thetest7TheTest5_ctorMUiZC7thetest7TheTest'

Well once more sorry for the very long post.
Let me try to clarify the problem. I'm trying to create an interface from cpp to d with the following files.

./bcd/my4/thetest.d
./thetest.h
./thetest.cpp
./thetest.d
./header_tit.d

cpp files are working, but when i try to create bindings to that header file i get to a point were i receive the same error using 2 different approaches. For the binding there are two files, one created by BCD and the other by h2d ("./thetest.d" and "./bcd/my4/thetest.d").
With this 2 different approaches I receive the same exact error message, in 2 different versions of GDC.

I would be grateful if some one could show me my error.

Interop with C++ is a fairly new addition to the language, and only in D2 I believe.  I don't think either bcd or htod know how to handle C++. So they're not likely to work.

In your hand-wrapping of the C++ you do this:

"""
extern (C) {
class TheTest
{
public:
  this (int);
  void myfirst ( int myf );
  void mysecond ( int myff );
  ~this();
private:
  int p_Myf;
  int p_Myff;
  int p_Mytotal;
}}
"""

Which has little chance of working since classes don't have any meaning in C.  It might work using extern(C++) with a D2 compiler. I've not done much with D2, though (no Tango, no DWT), so I couldn't say for sure.
