New release v0.6 of the D bindings for SAP NetWeaver RFC SDK
Hi! I made a new release of sapnwrfc-d, the D bindings for the SAP NetWeaver RFC SDK. Included are the following changes: - Support for release 7.50 of the SDK - New package name sapnwrfc. The old package name std.sap is deprecated and will be removed in the future. - New application createini: This utility converts a saplogon.ini file into sapnwrfc.ini format. The release notes are here: https://github.com/redstar/sapnwrfc-d/releases/tag/v0.6 To use the library just add a dependency to your dub.json/dub.sdl file or clone the source at https://github.com/redstar/sapnwrfc-d. My plan for the next release is to make use of struct and table parameters easier. The first draft of new module sapnwrfc.data is already committed (but not included in the release). Regards, Kai

If you could do me a favour and convince the LLVM folks they need a SPIR-V backend that'd be great ;) I got the response that someone is working on a SPIR-V backend with the goal to integrate it in official LLVM. It might be worth to ask on the LLVM dev list for a contact. Kai

It was just of a lack of a better name. Thinking about it I like the "netweaver." package name. Also I can recommend at least some basic ddoc comments, it's really trivial to use ddox to get some nice documentation, e.g. see https://github.com/MartinNowak/bloom. If you use x:ddoxFilterArgs without "--only-documented", it should even work for undocumented functions. Yeah, documentation is a bit weak. Currently, there is not much more than the official C API (for which you can download the documentation) with some D tuning. But I now start adding more functions and I will consider your hint.

Hello Guillaume, The data come from CPUID x86/x86_64 instruction. I have fixed bugs for AMD yesterday. Information for Intel and AMD processors should be reliable. But I am not sure about Cache and TLB information for virtual machines and other vendors. You can use cpuid.x86_any._cpuid [1] to get any information that is not presented. [1] http://docs.cpuid.dlang.io/latest/cpuid_x86_any.html#._cpuid Thx Ilya, I was discussing this a few colleagues. I'm quoting one of them here with his permission: "It doesn't seems that a userland library like this has any possibility to solve the root problem on Android/ARM. It's a twofold problem: 1. On ARM, the registers containing CPU identification and cache structure information, are privileged. See: http://infocenter.arm.com/help/index.jsp?topic=/com.arm.doc.ddi0344f/Chdebced.html etc... (more such registers listed in the left pane on that page) Thus it is up to the operating system to expose this information to userspace. That takes us to the second part of the problem: 2. As far as I know, Android does not expose either CPU identification or cache structure information to userspace. Please do correct me if I'm wrong and this library found a way around that --- but from a cursory look at the cpuid library code, it does not have an ARM implementation at the moment?" On Linux/ARM, Linux/PPC, etc. you have to use getauxval(): https://github.com/dlang/druntime/blob/master/src/core/sys/linux/sys/auxv.d See https://lwn.net/Articles/519085/ for background information.

Hi, Here is what I've learned: - use VS 2015 preferably, - since a while the stock LDC package work as is, nothing to configure, - use PATH and --compiler=ldc2 or --compiler=path/to/compiler.exe to tell dub where LDC is (separate packages for 32-bit and 64-bit), - to avoid a dependency on the VS 2015 runtime, add the following linker flags: "lflags-windows-ldc": [ "libcmt.lib", "/nodefaultlib:msvcrt.lib", "/nodefaultlib:vcruntime.lib" ], - executables made with LDC are not supported on XP and Vista, but seem to work regardless :) Thanks!

In what way is this is a major milestone ? LDC is really stable for quite some time. I felt that the 0.xx version scheme was no longer appropriate. E.g. many companies still consider a 0.xx version as not production ready. I raised the topic on the newsgroup. Outcome of the discussion was that the first version based on the frontend written in D should be version 1.0. (This is a major milestone.) In this sense there is nothing special about this version. We tried to make it the best LDC version ever - but we have this goal for every LDC release. Regards, Kai

By that time I used vibe.d only as a test case for LDC :-) But then I took a closer look at the features of vibe.d and got enthusiastic about it. I agreed to write the book. Hopefully the book shows much fun it is to use D for web applications. For me writing a book is an incredible experience. It's challenging because I am not a native English speaker. But I am having lot of fun in exploring all the details, creating examples and writing about it. I learned a lot in this process, including some more D programming. :-) A big thank to all (known and unknown) reviewers, to Andrei for contributing the foreword and all others who helped in one way or the other. Having finished about 60% of the chapters, the other 40% and the rework due to comments still absorb most of my time. Please be patient if fixing LDC bugs takes some more time as usual. Regards, Kai

New D book available for pre-order: D Web Development
Hi all! Did you notice that development of LDC has been a bit slowly in the past? The reason is my book D Web Development, available now for pre-order: https://www.packtpub.com/web-development/d-web-development The story behind the book: Some time after the review of the D Cookbook I was asked by Packt Publishing if I would be interested in writing a book about web development with D. By that time I used vibe.d only as a test case for LDC :-) But then I took a closer look at the features of vibe.d and got enthusiastic about it. I agreed to write the book. Hopefully the book shows much fun it is to use D for web applications. For me writing a book is an incredible experience. It's challenging because I am not a native English speaker. But I am having lot of fun in exploring all the details, creating examples and writing about it. I learned a lot in this process, including some more D programming. :-) A big thank to all (known and unknown) reviewers, to Andrei for contributing the foreword and all others who helped in one way or the other. Having finished about 60% of the chapters, the other 40% and the rework due to comments still absorb most of my time. Please be patient if fixing LDC bugs takes some more time as usual. Regards, Kai

D goes business! Bindings for SAP NetWeaver RFC SDK
Hi all! My latest project is D bindings for the SAP NetWeaver RFC SDK. The first code is available at https://github.com/redstar/sapnwrfc-d. It is currently only a port of the main header file but I plan to add a high-level API, too. See the README for current limitations and ideas. I create a tag for the DUB registry as soon as I got the first working example. Regards, Kai

Implementing cent/ucent...
Hi all! I started to work on cent/ucent support in LDC (and possible in upstream DMD). Here is the current state: 1) The pull request https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/pull/891/files implements cent/ucent based on the upcoming major LDC release (branch merge-2.067). It is usable but relies on GCC because it uses the __int128 data type. My next step is to implement a synthetic int128_t type to enable support on all platforms. Up to now I tested only on Linux/x86_64. 2) I already submitted some pull request for DMD, Druntime and Phobos to enable cent/ucent support. How to continue? As soon as I got it working on all compiler environment I like to create an upstream pull request. (May take some time because I am now busy with other tasks.) But: I am not going to extend the DMD backend! This has 2 consequences. First, we need to decide how to integrate the code. (Do we want to clutter the code with #if WANT_CENT as I currently do? Should we wait for DDMD?) Second, someone needs to work on the DMD backend if DMD should support cent/ucent, too. If you like to help: - clone test - Druntime/Phobos should support cent/ucent. I already updated/created some modules but more work is needed here - add support to the DMD backend Regards, Kai

Here is the current state: Hi, I appreciate all the work you're doing for LDC, but isn't ucent better implemented as a library type (e.g. as a FixNum struct for arbitrary fixed-size integers)? With the deprecation/removal of complex numbers, octal literals, and hex strings, I'm not sure if cent/ucent would pass the same inclusion requirements that those features didn't. This doesn't necessarily obsolete your work - we could remove ucent from the language specification, but still expose the backend feature in some way that FixNum could use for added efficiency. If there's already been a discussion about removing cent/ucent and I missed it, my apologies. Hi Vladimir, for me this was a low-hanging fruit. In many cases I only had to add the special cases for max and min values. If it is not included then it is no disaster. My motivation for the implementation is - implementation of 128bit CAS - evaluation of performance of bigintnoasm with 128bit vs. 64bit on X64 Regards, Kai
