Hello,
I am working on a C++ to D converter.
The project is opensource, on github :
https://github.com/lhamot/CPP2D
Clang is used to parse the C++ code and get the abstract syntax
tree. Then I can visit the AST to print it to D language.
Some tricks are used to convert the simplest macros to mixin.
Some C++ features which are not straightforward to convert are
already handled, like (A not exhaustive list):
class
constructor/destructor
virtual
abstract
override
initialization list
call base constructor
Operator overloading
member
free
left or right
Template
function
function specialization
class
class/struct specialization
class/struct partial specialization
arrays
static
dynamic
Some examples here :
https://github.com/lhamot/CPP2D/wiki/Conversion-samples
If somebody is interested to use this software, or to
participate, do not hesitate to contact me.
Regards
That's a great project! IIRC Walter still searches for someone to
convert the dmd backend to D.
Btw do you know about Daniel's porting tool that was used to
migrate the dmd frontend to D?
