Something like this https://github.com/yebblies/magicport2 ?
Yes! I need to look it over more thoroughly, but I couldn't
ask for a better beginning. Can I trust that you'll be a
willing part of future discussions on this matter, even if
only to play Devil's Advocate?
More like a full-blown attempt than a beginning. I started
this a long time
ago.
There are three parts to it:
- c++ parser/d printer, with lots of cheating and special cases
- patches to the c++ source
- patched version of dmd to build the result (no error on
variable shadowing
etc)
It produces a 70000 line d file which appears to get through
3/7ths of
semantic1. Root needs to be ported, and a cleaner interface to
the backend
is needed to compile the glue layer.
Yes, more than a beginning. This is a higher-level approach than
mine, clearly.
In your estimation, how high-level is your approach compared to
my lower-level one? How far would each of us have to travel to
meet in the middle, in other words? :)
