It also encourages people to write guest pieces, because you know 
the work is not wasted as it reaches a broader audience.


Also, as regards existing D blogs - Planet D was a great start

haven't been updated for years.  It would be great to still have

Threading Questions

[bitwise via Digitalmars-d-learn]

Hey, I've got a few questions if anybody's got a minute.

I'm trying to wrap my head around the threading situation in D. 
So far, things seem to be working as expected, but I want to 
verify my solutions.


1) Are the following two snippets exactly equivalent(not just in 
observable behaviour)?

a)

Mutex mut;
mut.lock();
scope(exit) mut.unlock();

b)
Mutex mut;
synchronized(mut) { }

Will 'synchronized' call 'lock' on the Mutex, or do something 
else(possibly related to the interface Object.Monitor)?


2) Phobos has 'Condition' which takes a Mutex in the constructor. 
The documentation doesn't exactly specify this, but should I 
assume it works the same as std::condition_variable in C++?


For example, is this correct?

Mutex mut;
Condition cond = new Condition(mut);

// mut must be locked before calling Condition.wait
synchronized(mut)  // depends on answer to (1)
{
// wait() unlocks the mutex and enters wait state
// wait() must re-acquire the mutex before returning when 
cond is signalled

cond.wait();
}

3) Why do I have to pass a "Mutex" to "Condition"? Why can't I 
just pass an "Object"?


4) Will D's Condition ever experience spurious wakeups?

5) Why doesn't D's Condition.wait take a predicate? I assume this 
is because the answer to (4) is no.


6) Does 'shared' actually have any effect on non-global variables 
beside the syntactic regulations?


I know that all global variables are TLS unless explicitly marked 
as 'shared', but someone once told me something about 'shared' 
affecting member variables in that accessing them from a separate 
thread would return T.init instead of the actual value... or 
something like that. This seems to be wrong(thankfully).


For example, I have created this simple Worker class which seems 
to work fine without a 'shared' keyword in sight(thankfully). I'm 
wondering though, if there would be any unexpected consequences 
of doing things this way.

Are you familiar with the 'Lazy variadic functions' feature? It works 
but as far as I understand it, all arguments must be of the same type:


  http://dlang.org/function.html

As long as all 'int's are acceptable, the change to your code would be

  void test(int delegate()[] args...)

There is the following related discussion:

Perhaps we need an enhancement that either works in your original code

That is an issue with your terminal. You need to use a terminal

is pressed. I would not be the one to help you, the last time I did

This looks a bit like K C transliterated to D. Much better to write
more idiomatic D…

> t=1/( n*n); //<
> Is doing integer division so is zero for n > 1 hence sqrt(1*6) = 
> 2.449...

That certainly solves the immediate problem.

Taking the original code and making it more D-like, you get something
like:

double while_loop() {
  auto n = 1;
  auto sum = 0.0;
  while (n < 100) {
sum += 1.0 / (n * n);
n++;
  }
  return sum;
}

but this is bounded iteration not unbounded iteration, so let us use a
far more idiomatic form:

double foreach_loop() {
  auto sum = 0.0;
  foreach (n; 1..100) {
sum += 1.0 / (n * n);
  }
  return sum;
}

but this is still very explicit iteration and we have moved on to the
era of implicit iteration and declarative rather than imperative
expression:

double reduce_loop() {
  return reduce!"1.0 / (a * a)"(iota(1, 100));
}

Unfortunately I have clearly done something silly here as:

double take_root(double x) { return (x * 6)^^0.5; }

void main() {
  writeln("while =  " , take_root(while_loop()));
  writeln("foreach =  " , take_root(foreach_loop()));
  writeln("reduce =  " , take_root(reduce_loop()));
}

results in:

while =  3.13198
foreach =  3.13198
reduce =  2.44949

If we worry about the string form and instead try:

double reduce_string_loop() {
  return reduce!"1.0 / (a * a)"(iota(1, 100));
}

double reduce_function_loop() {
  return reduce!((n) => 1.0 / (n * n))(iota(1, 100));
}

then we end up with:


/usr/include/dmd/phobos/std/algorithm/iteration.d(2565): Error: template 
pi_sumInverseSquares.reduce_function_loop.__lambda1 cannot deduce function from

If we worry about the string form and instead try:

double reduce_string_loop() {
  return reduce!"1.0 / (a * a)"(iota(1, 100));
}

double reduce_function_loop() {
  return reduce!((n) => 1.0 / (n * n))(iota(1, 100));
}



it should be write :
double reduce_loop() {
  //return iota(1, 100).map!"1.0 / (a * a)".sum;
  return iota(1, 100).reduce!"a + 1.0 / (b * b)";
}

I have just created bindings for libxlsxwriter, an c library

Used the htod tool to do most of the work, and only had to 
adjust some things - mainly because libxlsxwriter uses data 
structures written in macro's.


Right now I am making a dub package and I would like to aim 
for convenience for end-users (read: me).


Therefor I decided to include the compiled static library 
inside the package. I only use Linux 64-bit myself, but this 
is obviously limiting for other people.


The other option I had was to include the whole c code, depend 
on gcc or clang, and have dub  (somehow) first build 
libxlsxwriter. But that seemed a bit too much...


Another option would be to require end-users to build 
libxlsxwriter themselves.


What do you guys recommend?


nice work!

worth a little blog post on the experience so others can be 
inspired by and benefit from yours?


It seems this would be good content for the wiki. If we put this 
sort of thing there, others will start to look at the wiki, and 
Google will send them there. That wouldn't prevent anyone from 
also posting the same content on their own blog.

final class & final methods

If I declare a class as `final` do I  have to mark all methods of 
the class as `final` too?

Once again, I'm absolutely sure tha D should have an official

not for content presentation.


I've long agreed with that. Now that we have "This Week in D" we 
have a regular source for content.

FYI, if you guys want to set something up for multiple 
contributors like a traditional blog, I'm willing to move TWID do 
it.


I've been kinda wanting to do a blog thing but I just haven't 
brought myself to set anything up.
