Hey guys,
I'm writing a console based tool for windows. To receive the users input, I
try to use getch() but the compiler always says "Error: undefined identifier
getch". When I use getchar() it compiles successfully, but getchar() doesn't
returns after a single input.
Under DMD 1, getch is declared in std.c.stdio. So import that.
Under DMD 2, I don't know why it isn't there. But you just need to add
this declaration:
extern (C) int getch();
Is there any equivalent version in D for getch?
D doesn't have its own API for console operations besides
stdin/stdout/stderr stuff. I guess it wasn't worth creating one partly
because it would be a load of pointless wrappers around C functions, and
partly because in these days where everyone uses GUI-based software
they're not used as much.
