Re: Binary Literals Not Going Anywhere

D has plenty to remove/deprecate (and it is NOT `alias this`, unless that is replaced with a more general mechanism, such as `using` in Jai). +1 on Jai's `using` feature! `alias this` should definitely be more appreciated.

It's because I lack the time to update it. It was always a page to let _me_ understand the language better, and then I got to a point where I wasn't following the D development enough. I'd love if you'd pick up again. Years ago, when it was a bit more active, I'd check it all the time. I've learned a lot from the page. Thanks for all your work on it!

I'm currently attempting to get a devkitARM based off of 9.2 going since I thought it'd be simple - that may go a long way to making no-runtime/betterC work better!

Awesome, I just might try to get LDC working with this...
On a different note, I'd really like a critique on a decision I
made. Creating the bindings for libctru and citro3d was really
tedious, partly because I made the decision to change every named
enum from stuff like...
enum GPU_TEXTURE_WRAP_PARAM
{
GPU_CLAMP_TO_EDGE = 0x0, ///< Clamps to edge.
GPU_CLAMP_TO_BORDER = 0x1, ///< Clamps to border.
GPU_REPEAT = 0x2, ///< Repeats texture.
GPU_MIRRORED_REPEAT = 0x3, ///< Repeats with mirrored texture.
}
...to...
enum GPUTextureWrapParam
{
clamp_to_edge = 0x0, ///< Clamps to edge.
clamp_to_border = 0x1, ///< Clamps to border.
repeat = 0x2, ///< Repeats texture.
mirrored_repeat = 0x3 ///< Repeats with mirrored texture.
}
...in order to fit the D naming style, since the semantics for
the enum was changing anyway. But of course, every struct must
keep its old name... Is this alright? Should I add aliases for
every struct for a better naming style, or maybe go back on my
decision before, or...?

I used to hack around on my original NDS and thought about maybe trying to get D working on it, but didn't have sufficient time or motivation. I'll definitely play around with this. Last year I was able to get some C very simple code running on the DS, hacked into Pokemon Platinum... I imagine it could be done with -betterC, I guess! Following this tutorial might do a good chunk of the work to setting it up. You'd just need to copy similar stuff I did in 3ds_rules and my (horrific) Makefile in nds_rules. You could get by converting an example DS hello world and declaring any functions/structs needed in your main file as a start.

Great stuff! Though I don't think you'll find much improvement
in gdc 10 regarding switching off D features. Backported
patches to make gdc on parity with dmd as of April 2019 was
done prior to the gdc 9 release. I'm not aware of much more
being done regarding that other than some extern(C) library
functions being converted into templates, and the C main
function being moved to a common location in D runtime (C main
is not "compiled into" gdc unlike previous versions of dmd).
Darn... Are there any plans at some point in the future to add a
real -betterC sort of flag? It would be really really nice to be
able to compile something like...
import std.bitmanip : bitfields;
struct Stuff {
mixin(bitfields!(
uint, "x",2,
int, "y",3,
uint, "z",2,
bool, "flag", 1));
}
extern(C) void main() {
Stuff x;
}
...just as in DMD or LDC.

It would certainly be nice to have a true -betterC going with this. Does LDC have equivalent flags for what devkitARM wants passed into GCC, like: -march=armv6k -mtune=mpcore -mfloat-abi=hard -mtp=soft -mword-relocations -fomit-frame-pointer -ffunction-sections ?
D code running on the Nintendo 3DS
Hi, all. I wanted to get into the world of 3DS homebrew, but I really didn't feel like coding in C or C++. So, through an effort of sheer will, I somehow got a hello world example written in D up and running, along with bindings for most of libctru and citro3d. https://github.com/TheGag96/3ds-hello-dlang Included are instructions on how to set this up (although it's pretty hacky). I imagine one could easily start writing Switch homebrew in D by following most of these steps as well. Once GCC 10 comes out with an updated GDC, it might become a pretty attractive alternative to C/++ for such projects if some work is put into bindings and stuff. Hope someone finds this interesting!

Re: Sublime Text 3 Gets Better D Support
Just got the new update, and when I reloaded my files, any source code inside a class has every variable name and all punctuation colored according to my theme: http://i.imgur.com/RxqTqoP.png If I'm remembering right Java files look like the right half of the image as well, though I'm not sure what parameter in my theme I'm supposed to change to make this go back to what it was before, though... As it is it's a little eye-searing. Is this just a result of Sublime parsing D better now?
