its already in the bindings
https://github.com/evilrat666/directx-d/blob/master/src/directx/d3dx11async.d#L79

however i may forgot to add public import this module in d3dx11.

Ah, I forgot to check for updates. Awesome, there's a triangle example now. Thanks!

Hi evilrat,

I've been thinking about this for a while, maybe you know about SharpDX.
https://github.com/sharpdx/SharpDX

It parses DirectX SDK headers and provide C# DirectX bindings + marshalling code (based on gccxml C++ parser).
I wonder how involved would it be to modify its generation tool (https://github.com/sharpdx/SharpDX/tree/master/Source/Tools/SharpGen) to output D bindings instead.

great, however it seems has a little problem, the arg of
ID3D11DeviceContext.Unmap should be ID3D11Resource not
ID3D11Resource*, arg of IASetIndexBuffer should be ID3D11Buffer
not ID3D11Buffer*

uh, yes, it has some problems, this is semi-automatic coversion bindings, and i have missed some stuff. thanks for pointing out.

If you need a gccxml XML loader you could grab this code: https://github.com/AndrejMitrovic/dgen/blob/master/src/dgen/parser/gccxml.d

It's not exactly a self-hosting module, there's a few dependencies.

I also have a fork of gccxml that exports some additional attributes (and documents some things as well): https://github.com/AndrejMitrovic/gccxml

Don't even ask about that project though, it's something I /might/ get back to at one point, but I'm way too busy with other stuff.

This is referring to dgen, not gccxml.

indeed this is not recommended to use, and there are no more such function on windows 8. i'm also need to fix xaudio example too :(

it has been for a long time since i released this bindings, so i wonder if anyone uses this in their projects? it would be nice to see some results of projects using this bindings :)
