- am I right in thinking C++ integration more or less works,
except instantiating C++ templates from D? what are the
gotchas?
C++ integration can be made to work, as in data can be passed
back and forth and most function calls will work. The gotchas
are everywhere, and getting non-trivial C++ interop working is
a fairly advanced task that will require changes on both the
C++ and D side. Heavily templated code is especially difficult.
Is there anything anyone has on the gotchas for non-templated
stuff? I am sure this would be of more general interest, since
everybody likely has some legacy code they want to connect with.
I get the impression the subset of C++ people often restrict
themselves to tends not to favour heavy metaprogramming, but I
don't know how much template stuff they actually tend to do at
this place. (Will find out).
