Hi, it seems that the idea of using doxygen xml output to generate D
bindings was not that bad. I am pretty happy to see that exactly this
happens in wxWidgets 2.9.4,

Generating C functional wrappers is already pretty cool, but the
fantastic news is SWIG output! As you may have noticed, SWIG has D
support. Means : No need to manually re-create C++ classes in D.
Holy crap.
Random thoughts.
I think the challege will be to create a reasonable message system. The
old WxD projects mimics the MESSAGEMAP() thing. I think a better
solution would be to use wxWidgets connect() and to design a D-ish NET
like message system. The cleanest D implementation I have seen so far is
part of the DGUI project.
SWIG : I think we have to modify :
https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets/blob/master/docs/doxygen/scripts/swig_tools.py
a bit, in order to enable SWIG to generate D2 code.
Which wxWidget Version ?
IMO at least 2.9x to avoid the UNICODE - non UNICODE stress. Probably
2.9.4 is the best choice (doxygen wise) which will arrive AFAIK in February.
How to setup the project ? just the modified Python scripts and some
docs? Dunno.
Thoughts ?
