I'm exploring [0] C++ interop after watching Walter's
presentation [1].
I hit a block with classes as template parameters. This means
vector<int> works, but vector<Foo> does not. D seems to map
vector!Foo to vector<Foo*>. Likewise shared_ptr<Foo> is a
problem. Any way to fix that on the D side? The ugly workaround
is to adapt the C++ code.
I understand that this mapping makes sense for function calls
because bar(Foo f) in D maps to bar(Foo *f) in C++. And C++
bar(Foo f) has no equivalent in D because classes are reference
types.
On a related note, C++ interop requires to redeclare or even
reimplement C++ code. Has anybody started a libcpp-in-d project?
I'm looking for basics like vector and string.
