Additionally it handles all the validation for you so you can

If a file named "../SomeOtherFile.htm" is uploaded the server

Some of this is available in LLVM today, and everything

can do most of what LTO does but with a price that is much 
closer to the one of a regular build than the one of a classic 
LTO build.


LTO optimization can devirtualize all function that do not need 
to be virtual, and even use profile infos to speculatively 
devirtualize - aka JVM grade devirtualization.


I would love to see this leveraged to finally put to rest the 
final vs virtual debate. If we use this tech properly, 
everything that do not need to be virtual can be finalized - 
except across shared object, which shouldn't be too much of an 
issue in practice.


My understanding was that the main argument for final by default 
was that it is easy to make the wrong decision for a method to be 
virtual and then going from virtual to final would break the 
compatibility.

complete) mirror of my repository [2], which is also available 
on DUB [3].


I would like to thank my mentor Robert burner Schadek for his 
great support and everybody who already gave some feedback 
during these months.


The PR is not meant for immediate merging. Some things still 
need improvement (docs/unittests/...) while others will come in 
a second iteration (advanced DTD handling). It is meant to for 
some reviews, focusing mainly on the design and usability of 
the library.


In the PR description you will find all the details, including 
a nice "wishlist" of things that I found missing in D during 
the development and some open questions.


So, if you have any consideration/suggestion, drop a line here 
or on the PR, and if you find bugs, don't hesitate to file an 
issue on the issue tracker of my repository.


Thank you very much!

[3] https://code.dlang.org/packages/std-experimental-xml


I like the new cursor API very much since it enables new use 
cases that are were hard to do with the old API. Thanks for your 
hard work!


Examples are a bit scares. I like the way Phobos documents every 
functions with an unittest/example. I'm all for that!


Another thing I encountered some days ago was that the default 
error handler is using asserts to signal error. 
https://github.com/lodo1995/experimental.xml/issues/30
It is not obvious from the API that you're required to have a 
error handler.

Two ideas:
Use exceptions instead of asserts. This way it is recoverable in 
the default use case.

Require a error handler in the constructor.

Thanks,

Note 2: I am not vacating the post of Build Master. I have some 
personal matters that require a significant amount of my time 
over the next couple of months. I cannot promise to be on time 
with the releases before October 15. Until then, I will do my 
best to prepare releases as time permits.


As it stands: If there are no pending merges for the 2.066.1 
branch, I will be able to prepare a RC before morning (time now 
is 12:58 AM JST).


How much of your free time has the Build Mater/release lieutenant 
role taken?

Re: Parallel execution of unittests

[NVolcz via Digitalmars-d]

The D unittest feature has been a mixed bag from the beginning 
for me.
When a codebase starts to consider to parallelize the unittests 
it's has in many cases become a very expensive to make this 
change. If order of execution was not guaranteed this would force 
coders to make a better long term investment from the beginning.
A nice side effect from having undefined order is that 
programmers are forced to think about state. See 
http://googletesting.blogspot.se/2013/03/testing-on-toilet-testing-state-vs.html


Another link I would like to drop here which is only midly 
relevant. I whish that more developers became aware of the Tests 
Vs. checks discussion.

Re: D binding to JNI

I created a D binding to JNI and some convenient wrappers 
around it.

Here it is: https://github.com/Monnoroch/DJni

Note, that this is a port from similar C++ lib, so it can be 
not the best D code, but it's a start.

I would love if someone would contribute to the project.


Could not find any examples or descriptive unittests. I would be 
very interested in using something like this!

If any of you are in the neighbourhood please let me know and 
I will invite you. The lecture will most likely be held in 
Swedish.


I couldn't make it. How did it go?


How are you by the way?

Do you live in Sweden?

/Per

I'm fine. Thanks :-).
I live in Stockholm. We actually had a meetup group for D coders 
here in Stockholm last year. It was disbanded due to lack of 
interest.
I was planning on going to your talk but some stuff got in the 
way.

Are you on G+?
