or even automatically creating bindings for a C header file.
I've thought about that before. It would be great to have
fully automatic linking to C libs. You could even have a cache
system that stores .di files and only regenerates them if the
.h file was modified.
That hits on the one irritating limitation of CTFE: No I/O. So
that cache
system would be a no-go right now.
Didn't realize that. Well until IO in CTFE is possible,
converting a .h file into a .di file is still possible. Once
that's done then it could just be wrapped up into a mixin cache
system. D already has a tool to do this I believe (htod). Never
used it though.
