Re: Properties don't work as expected
D is being used productively by some companies, so I guess we can call it production-ready. This doesn't meant there are not rough corners. The language is being actively developed, and I see that some work is being done on those rough corners. However, keep in mind that: 1) Maybe what you perceive as a strong deficiency isn't seen as a top priority for the D developers. This issue with properties, for instance, is annoying (I agree with you!), but most of the time (if not ever) it can be easily circumvented (as Satoshi has shown). 2) Sometimes, changing language features have subtle side effects, and the devs must take everything into account. A fix that looks obvious for us mere mortals can actually open a can of worms and introduce many new issues.

Re: OpenGL Setup?
I have been using Textadept ( http://foicica.com/textadept/ ) with Textadept-d ( https://github.com/Hackerpilot/textadept-d ). I use mostly on Linux for development, but I've recently spent two or three days on Windows and things worked well enough for me. (Coming for someone who has used Emacs for everything int he last 15+ years, this must mean something :-) ) Hope this helps, LMB On Fri, Jun 17, 2016 at 8:51 AM, OpenJelly via Digitalmars-d-learn < digitalmars-d-learn@puremagic.com> wrote: > On Thursday, 16 June 2016 at 19:52:58 UTC, OpenJelly wrote: > >> >> Trying to get VS Code to work with code-d... can't get dcd to work with > it.

Re: Coverage
I had one case these days in which I also had a lot of data to use in the
test. I was able to put the data as very large regular D arrays, but this
increased my compilation times a lot (not to mention the time to run the
unit tests).
I decided to enclose this specific unit test (including the `import
test_data` statement) in `version ExtraUnitTests { ... }`. This way, I can
run the bulk of my unit tests very frequently without wasting time with
this special case I want to run only sometimes.
I can't say I am 100% happy with this, but it worked for me and didn't
require any additional dependency.

Re: Coverage
You probably already though of it, but: can't you create a unittest that calls your code as many times as desired, passing different input each time?

Module-level attributes and unit tests
Hello, I have a module which is completelly @nogc, and as such I'd like to just say @nogc: at the top of the file and be happy. However, my unit tests for this same module do some GC allocation, so the module fails to compile. Is there a way to disable @nogc for the unit tests only? Would this be a bad idea in some way I cannot see? I suppose the same question is valid for other attributes, like 'nothrow' and '@safe'. Thank you, LMB

Nope. At best, you might be able to *declare* a function that is GC, but
even then, you wouldn't be able to call it.

and '@safe'.
Actually, you can undo @safe with an explicit @system. nothrow (and
pure) are in the same boat as @nogc
Thank you,
LMB
Solutions I can see would be to:
a) Put your unittests in a separate module.
b) Place your unittests before your @nogc:
c) Instead of using @nogc:, use @nogc {}: This will make @nogc run
until the end of the block.
Re: pointer array?
Justin's answers seems correct to me, and I don't know anything about your specific use case, but I cannot resist to add: Think twice before doing this kind of things. I know that sometimes this is necessary or handy, but one of the great things about D is that it provides so many higher-level abstractions that we should feel ashamed to not use them. So, yes, an array of void* will work in D, as will many of the classic lower-level tricks used in, say, C. But when using them, the compiler will not be able to help you much finding errors and such. As rule I'd say that, if you can (and we usually can), try using something higher level. (In your case, perhaps an array of objects of some base class, or implementing a certain interface? Or some more radical redesign?)

Re: pointer array?
Can't you call it directly?
extern(C)
{
int add (int a, int b)';
}
// ...
auto ret = add(123, 456);

Re: Any GPL video games in D2
Hi, Some time ago I wrote this Tetris-like game: https://bitbucket.org/lmb/anytris (also on GitHub: https://github.com/lmbarros/Anytris) Nothing fancy. I am sure there are better examples out there. And maybe this is not the best code to show to students ;-) Also, license is ZLib -- I assume it will be good for your purposes.
