Hi, there is some documentation on writing a Deimos interface. E.g. http://prowiki.org/wiki4d/wiki.cgi?LanguageDevel/DIPs/DIP12 http://dlang.org/interfaceToC.html
I'd like to get a list of rules that one has to follow. First you have to convert the name of the header file to a valid D module name. Therefore, I found/came up with the following rules: * a slash (/) has to be replaced by a dot (.) * a dash (-) has to be replaced by a dot (.) * a D keyword gets a underscore (_) appended Maybe someone can commented on them. I suppose there are even more. These are just the ones I encountered. Some questions on module names I could not find a definite answer for: 1. The D page says they should be lower case. Should Deimos module names also be made lower case? 2. Should all interfaces be put in a common package, say deimos? Translating the header file itself is pretty straightforward following http://dlang.org/interfaceToC.html. Though some cases are not covered: * E.g. use core.stdc.stdint for standard C types. * const T* should be replaced with const(T)* * How to deal with macros? Can we write a recipe like guide for writing a Deimos interface? Jens
