- I find myself in a world of pain when I want to share data more complex than the basic data types (int, char, byte, etc) across threads. Seemingly the magic trick is to "cast(shared) foo" (or "cast(immutable)") when passing objects/references to another thread, then "cast(Foo)" back on the receiving end (as most classes/structs in the standard library refuse to let you call any methods when the object is shared). The examples in the source and TDPL are fairly limited on the issue, it mostly covers only those basic data types.
Try message passing and serialize the data you want to send. Message passing: http://dlang.org/phobos/std_concurrency.html Serialization: https://github.com/jacob-carlborg/orange -- /Jacob Carlborg
