I'm trying to convert a .H to a d import and so i ran it through the gcc preprocessor etc.  Now it's all fine, but this file makes alot of typedefs such as:


typedef unsigned long long UInt64;

Well they give errors...


if i replace it with equivilent D types though.....


typedef ulong UInt64;  This works fine.

D cannot understand C's primitive type modifiers - this information is folded into basic types in D. It is not a bug, nor is there much sense doing anything about it in D. The utility to convert C headers should take care of such things.

There's a utility?  Where can i obtain it?

No, there's not. :/ Someone would have to write it.
