March 15, 2021 Is there an easy way to convert a C header to a D module? | ||||

 | I'm needing to use a c/c++ library in a D program and I'm struggling with creating a binding as it seems like an enormous amount of regex modifications. Is there an existing program that can create most if not all of a binding for me? Thanks | |||

Is there an existing program that can create most if not all of a binding for me? https://github.com/jacob-carlborg/dstep That does most of it, then you fix it up with some regex or whatever to finish the job. | |||

Seems pretty good. Does it work on c++ stuff too?

Bother. Well, I'm sure it will still be useful though. Thanks for the heads up

Does it work on c++ stuff too? (shameless plug) You can try my crappy generator[1] for C++ There is also dpp[2] which probably can convert C++ decls to D [1] https://github.com/Superbelko/ohmygentool [2] https://code.dlang.org/packages/dpp | |||
