Re: PHP extension in D
Sure, I will write the how-to-do article, if I have plenty of time the next week. If not, I will write it later. All in all, the article soon will be ready.

I once tried to make a proof of concept PHP extension in D on an
Ubuntu Linux. I chose to make it simple by letting Swig
(www.swig.org) do the heavy wrapping work for me. It's then
becomes quite as much difficult as calling some D code from C.
Below is an outline of the steps it took me to wrap a D function
for PHP.
You'll still have to figure out how to make it work nicely with
Eclipse and on your particular platform, nonetheless it should
help you getting started.
Note that this approach could also be used to call some D code
from Java, C# or any other language supported by Swig.
1. Write / get the D code (speedup.d).
import std.stdio , std.string ; import std.conv : to;
string speedUp (string msg) {
writefln (-- %s --, msg);
return `sped up %s`.format (msg);
}
2. make a C API for that code, declaring the functions of that
API with the extern (C) qualifier.
extern (C) {
immutable (char) * d_speedUp (char * msg) {
return toStringz (speedUp (to!string (msg)));
}
}
3. Create a Swig interface file for that C API (speedup.i). Also
add a declaration to the rt_init function from the druntime.
%module speedup
char rt_init (long long);
const char * d_speedUp (char * msg);
4. run Swig: `swig -php speedup.i`. This will generate several
files:
- speedup_wrap.c
- php_speedup.h
- speedup.php
Now we've got to compile all those parts together: we want to
generate a speedup.so dynamic library object from all that we
got.
5. From what I researched, dmd (at least on Linux) needs to see
a
main function to properly generate all the code of the druntime
within the dynamic library/shared object it generates. We will
trick it by adding a fake main function (dfakemain.d):
void main () {}
6. compile dfakemain.d:
dmd -c dfakemain.d
7. compile speedup.o:
dmd -fPIC -c -L-shared dfakemain.o speedup.d
8. compile speedup_wrap.o, you'll need to have everything needed
to compile extension for PHP on your platform:
gcc `php-config --includes` -fpic -c speedup_wrap.c
9. compile speedup.so, our target:
dmd -shared speedup_wrap.o dfakemain.o speedup.o -ofspeedup.so
10. If everything went well so far, you can now try your
extension within a script (dmd_speedup.php):
?php rt_init (0); // initialize the D runtime. echo d_speedUp
(hello from php), \n;
You can launch the script with extension loading enabled with a
command line such like this one:
php -d enable_dl=1 -d extension=`pwd`/speedup.so
dmd_speedup.php
It should then output:
-- hello from php --
sped up hello from php
Now, one could imagine to get a bit further by automating all
that, like using the json output from dmd to generate a swig
interface file and a nice OOP interface on the PHP side, but
this
would be much more work.
Have fun!
@Rémy Mouëza Thanks a lot!
@Denis Shelomovskij sorry... this is my first post here, i will
try to be careful next time when i post here next time..
