I'm specifically thinking of the GNU Octave codebase:
http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/file/@
It's a fairly old and complicated C++ codebase. I would like to
see if I could slowly introduce some D in it, anywhere.
Now, as I understand it, I would need to begin with making `main`
a D function, because D needs to initialise the runtime. Is this
correct?
Another possibility might be in dlopen'able functions. Currently
Octave uses so-called oct functions, which are nothing more than
C++ object code that is dynamically loaded by the interpreter at
runtime. They are compiled to the Octave C++ API, but we also
have a Matlab-compatible C API that perhaps could be more
amenable for D-ification.
What are your ideas?
