Re: utiliD: A library with absolutely no dependencies for bare-metal programming and bootstrapping other D libraries

[Eugene Wissner via Digitalmars-d-announce]

- Memcmp, memcpy, memmove and memset are named equal, copy, 
copyBackward and fill respectively. I just wanted to create 
native implementations that are bit safer than their C 
counterparts. So they do the same job, but accept void[] instead 
of pointers. There are also templated functions with the same 
names, that work with ranges.


I‘m not very comfortable with GCC‘s inline asm and it doesn‘t 
support naked asm as DMD does, so I put asm in the .S files and 
compile them separately. But I‘m fine with inline asm too. A 
problem with the inline asm is that it should be written in 
several versions since DMD uses different calling conventions 
(unless we use extern(C)) and GDC and LDC use different asm 
syntax.


Tanya contains pretty much stuff now and I‘m just thinking to 
split it in a smaller parts (of a reasonable size), that are 
probably interesting for other people, who is ready to 
contribute, so I don‘t have to maintain everything myself. I 
don‘t know exactly what goes into this more „low-level“ library, 
we can always talk about it.


- OS API

Not sure if it belongs to the scope of utilD. Some time ago it 
became clear to me, that while C has functions for dynamic memory 
management, it uses them internally very seldom. Instead it lets 
the user to allocate the memory. So there functions like:


char *if_indextoname(unsigned int ifindex, char *ifname);

that take an output buffer as the last argument. The same can be 
done with output ranges in D, so these system functions can be 
rewritten in D with a better interface. Whereby I should say that 
tanya‘s range definitions differ from Phobos.


- meta

Another thing probably interesting for utilD library is 
meta-programming. Tanya has „tanya.meta“ package which contains 
templates similar to to std.traits and std.meta + some nice 
extras like Union/Intersection/Difference working on sets of 
types, that are inspired by Boost Hana. This part is completely 
independent (from Phobos and the rest of tanya) and can even be a 
separate library.

I guess we could contact the c3voc team, they organize streaming and VOD 
for various conferences (most notably the Chaos Communication Congress but 
also the SystemD (All Systems Go!), LinuxTag and various smaller events 
were handled by these guys). Apart from publishing (postprocessed) 
recordings and handling livestreams, they also have a reLive feature 
which allows you to watch the (not postprocessed) livestream recordings 
immediately after streaming ends. And they upload videos to youtube as 
well:

+1. This repeated unreliability of streaming/recording is embarrassing.
We should just use our own video crew next DConf. *After* testing
everything on-venue *before* the actual start of the conference, so that
any issues are noticed and addressed beforehand.

Haha, no I meant a *literal* mirror.  :-D A reflective piece of glass.  To
solve the problem of the YouTube flipping everything horizontally.

Now I get to bring the bad news. There's an issue right now with
YouTube flipping the video horizontally in the livestream such
that everything is backwards. They've been trying to find a
solution for it but are so far unable to. As such, we're stuck
with WebEx for the remainder of the day. They'll try to get it
sorted this evening so that we can stream on YouTube tomorrow.

Sorry for those of you having difficulties with WebEx.


Can't we just watch it in a mirror? That sounds easier than getting 
WebEx working.

I tried to setup a mirror, WebEx crashed.
