Technically, they're part of the operating system. If druntime
didn't provide them, you could also just add
// copy pasted from msdn
extern(Windows)
LPVOID VirtualAlloc(
LPVOID lpAddress,
SIZE_T dwSize,
DWORD flAllocationType,
DWORD flProtect
);
or
// copy pasted from the man page
extern(C)
void *mmap(void *addr, size_t length, int prot, int flags,
int fd, off_t offset);
to your files (importing the necessary header so the types are
defined, or defining them yourself too, might take some digging
through the C header files though) and go ahead and call them
that way.
Just some simple conditional compile statements will probably
do the job!
yup. Also don't forget error checking, you should make sure the
returned pointers aren't null (since they are C functions, they
won't be throwing exceptions!)
