I can't say how happy I am about that! At the end of this starting week, on Friday May 28, TDPL will be out on trucks to bookstores. Let's make this week a bug fixing week for both dmd and Phobos, and issue a release on Monday. We're going public! Andrei I think we need improvement of DDoc. Current DDoc doesn't keep up with D Spec(e.g. ignore @attribute, pure, etc...).
Re: dcollections 1.0 and 2.0a beta released
On 24/05/2010 16:45, Andrei Alexandrescu wrote: In the past I have built a C++ library that abstracted features of the OS. My goal was to make it possible to dynamically load a module that abstracted things like setting the IP address of a network interface. My modules used std::string instead of char * to lookup services to get objects that implement the interface. Big mistake. On a later version of the standard C++ runtime, the private implementation of std::string changed, so the dynamically loaded libraries crashed horribly. No change in string's interface, just the private stuff changed, but because it's a template, the code that uses it necessarily has to be aware of it. We ended up ditching the standard C++ library's version of string, and used STLPort so we could control the library. I envision this same sort of problem would be likely with D collection objects that were not used via interfaces. I see no problem retrofitting a no-interface container into a formal interface if so needed. I don't understand this discussion: isn't the reason above pretty much a dead-on hard requirement for the collections to have interfaces? Something like, for example, an interface version of the range traits? -- Bruno Medeiros - Software Engineer
