Thread safe reference counted RCArray with DIP1000 in mind has been released with mir-algorithm v3.1.12.

It has well defined C++ header. You can use it from C++ if the same type is used in linked D object file.

D's RCArray (1) (mir_rcarray) does not have range primitives, only length, [], and [i] primitives. [] returns a common scoped slice view (common D array).

C++'s mir_rcarray (2) defines [i], at, begin, cbegin, end, cend, and data primitives.

Both D and C++ versions define asSlice method that returns ndslice view on top of reference counted iterator.

D&C++ interaction now tested in Travis CI. GCC may not be compatible with LDC, CLANG interacts well.

This work has been sponsored by Symmetry Investments (3) and Kaleidic Associates (4).
