May 11 How to load a DLL file in D? | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
 | I know that BindBC exists and otherwise would use it, but the bigger the library, the more extra hurdle it'll have. When I did a few bindings with it, I had to order the functions the right way, so I could do things much quicker with the Ctrl+Alt+Shift trick under VSCode, and even then having to write both a statically linked and dynamically linked version (the latter which required the functions to be loaded individually into function pointers). Maybe I should write some automation tool... | |||

You might find this package useful https://code.dlang.org/packages/dynamic Also relevant if they're C functions: https://forum.dlang.org/post/qxctappnigkwvaqakeqf@forum.dlang.org And this if you want to convert C headers to D code: https://forum.dlang.org/post/ugvc3o$5t3$1@digitalmars.com | |||
