I'm obviously terrible at communicating. Let me try again. Assume that I
wrote Calypso, and I was explaining it to you:
-----------------------------------------
Given the C++ header file foo.h:
void bar(unsigned *);
and the C++ source file foo.cpp:
void bar(unsigned *p) { }
I want to call bar() from my D code in test.d:
void main() {
uint x;
bar(&x);
}
Here's how to do it with Calypso:
calypso foo.h
which will generate the file foo.d. add an import to test.d:
import foo;
void main() {
uint x;
bar(&x);
}
To compile and link:
clang++ foo.cpp -c
dmd test foo.o
Which generates the program 'test' which can be run.
It works something like this:

void bar(unsigned *);
and the C++ source file foo.cpp:
void bar(unsigned *p) { }
I want to call bar() from my D code in test.d:
void main() {
uint x;
bar(&x);
}
Here's how to do it with Calypso:
module test;
modmap (C++) "foo.h";
import (C++) _ : bar;
void main() {
uint x;
bar(&x);
}
To compile and link:
clang++ foo.cpp -c
ldc test.d foo.o
Which generates the program 'test' which can be run.
Calypso is not a separate tool. It's a fork of LDC which allows you to
directly import/include a C++ header files and use the declarations from
within D. No bindings or intermediate files are necessary.
