I use both std/boost and exceptions when makes sense - game is

I used some parts of boost c++0x std on ios a few years ago. I
guess it is no longer maintained, but maybe it is possible to use
the useful parts of a generic std library and match the memory
layout on the D side?
calling writeln() from D side). Win32 support is coming but I
expect similar problems (is nobody really mixing C++ and D
using VC++ atm?).
Dunno.
That being said my biggest fear is that D2 will never be
finished... I am lurking on those forums for 2 years now,
waiting for the signal to start the transition but I need to be
sure that in few months everything I need and the code I write
will work as expected (and on iOS too). I am not seeing this
Well, I looked at D1 eight years ago with the intent of using it
for game/world content on the server side. It was kind of nice,
but the compiler was basic. Then I decided to drop D1 and wait
for D2 when it was announced, and been tracking it ever since...
So yeah, impatient. I dont think there will be a game friendly D
version untill someone decides to cooperate on D--. Basically
cutting features and redesign for fast precise GC that minimize
cache load and that can run 60 times per sec without taking more
than 10% of the cpu.
I think it is doable for a given execution and memory model. Add
some constraints and performance will happen! :-)
strings...). It looks like Phobos might need to be rewritten
entirely and soon. I will not give up tho, if I must skip D for
one more project (which lasts year or two) then be it,
hopefully I will be able to use if for the nest one :(
If all the people who want to use it for game content ( not
engine, but content ) cooperated and created c++ compatible
datatypes then maybe we could have something going within 6-12
months?
