Hey guys, I would really like to know whether I can access ring 0 in D or not.

Actually I'm in Love with D because it's such a great language (I'm a c++ Programmer), but there still some things that I cant find.

D's is not really the perfect name for a Programming Language, it's hard to find D related things on google, because it's such a short name :p

So, can I access Ring0 in D or not?

Mfg,
Gyron

Ok, so 1 minute of searching led me to believe that ring 0 is kernel-level privilege in software. As such, yes, you can access ring 0 in D, D compiles to native machine code, and can do anything C/C++ can do.

I don't know if thats what you mean, but I do know that somebody started to write a microkernel in D (the project is now dead) so there's that.

Yep there also is a kernel in D: http://wiki.xomb.org
