June 08, 2021 A use-case for ImportC? | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
 | assuming you are writing a program in C - would the ImportC feature enable you to write headers in C (like in your existing codebase) and then import them for implementation in D? This would very neatly allow using D in C projects without duplicating the struct types, typedef, etc. in both C and D files. | |||

This would very neatly allow using D in C projects without duplicating the struct types, typedef, etc. in both C and D files. For example, allows to use directly C single-header only libs, like Nuklear : https://github.com/Immediate-Mode-UI/Nuklear | |||

I'd expect this to work using the ast formater residing in the dmd.hdrgen module. | |||
