Try the following:

// Add these two lines before the constructor:
nothrow:
@safe:
this(StreamSocketFD client)

Also you will need to either comment out calls to writeln() or
surround them in try/catch as writeln() may throw so it can't
really be called in nothrow code... For starters just comment all
calls to writeln() out to make it compile, and then move from
there.

You may compare `bitwise` implementation in mir-algorithm and Phobos. Mir's version few times smaller and do not have Phobos bugs like non mutable `front`. See also `bitpack`. 2. Mir devs are very cary about BetterC 3. Slice is universal, full featured, and multidimensional random access range. All RARs can be expressed through generic Slice struct. 4. It is faster to compile and generates less templates bloat. For example: slice.map!fun1.map!fun2 is the same as slice.map!(pipe!(fun1, fun2)) `map` and `pipe` are from mir-algorithm. It is all good, but I am sure many D programmers, myself included, would appreciate if shortcomings of Phobos are fixed instead of having a completely separate package with set of features that overlap... I understand ndslice was at some point in the `experimental` package, but again - it would be good if you improve existing Phobos stuff instead of providing a separate library that provides better implementation(s).

q{} string literals (so-called "token strings") are a nice D feature - D
garantees that tokens in between brackets are valid D tokens. This makes
them perfect for storing D source code. They are quite useful for string

D does create a standalone executable and so the Python approach of reading the file at initialization time seems inappropriate. Is there a known D idiom for this? Thanks. I simply define version in my main module (module which contains the main() function). I am planning to submit a DIP about something that is related to this. - I think we really need a way to specify version of package, and maybe even version of a module (similar to how the new Java module system works - see project Jigsaw). D does not offer this. I humbly believe it should be part of the language as it could be used also for building versions of dynamic libraries. Anyway, back to the topic. Say my main() function is in the org.dlang.myapp module. If I want to have information about version of the artifact, my myapp.d starts with the following two lines of D code: module org.dlang.myapp; version = 1_3_21_4; // major_minor_micro_qualifier Naturally, build tool looks for the version line when I need it.

Looks like Variant works only with implicitly convertible types.
In this case this fails:
assert(isImplicitlyConvertible!(immutable(A), A));
Re: std.concurrency : sending immutable classes
Could it be something changed in DMD recently, as in my case (DMD64 D Compiler v2.063.2, on Fedora GNU/Linux) it obviously picks Variant. Why it does not pick the immutable instance of A is beyond me. If we reverse the order of arguments in the receive(), we will get the "function with arguments (VariantN!(32LU)) occludes successive function" error...

I would go even further, and organise the file so N Data objects fit one page,
and read the file page by page. The page-size can easily be obtained from the
system. IMHO that would beat this fastxtoolkit. :)

I can't seem to figure out what the correct library is to include in my program to be able to call set/getrlimit in any manner. Thanks! Well, if it is not in the posix module, then you simply use it by declaring "extern(C) int setrlimit(int resource, const void* rlim);" or something similar if you define the rlimit struct somewhere. Remember, you can call C functions from your D code anytime, anywhere.

Long ago i have dealt with this almost on a daily basis (we used Borland C++ Builder on Windows in the former company I worked for). The easiest method is to use DEF files to create the import library. If you do not have it, you can use some tool that will analyse the DLL, make the DEF file for you, and then you modify it to your needs, and then create the import library for your target toolchain.

This proggy will always print "1" because writeln() prints the

What's can be wrong?
You probably have a very old GDC...
1) GC is a Struct inside core.memory so you need a line:
GC gc;
2) You need to throw OutOfMemoryError which is defined in
core.exception.
3) You need const(void*) pointers for GC methods.
So I first recommend you install latest GDC, and then modify your
code to be more up-to-date.
I hope this helps.
Regards :)

To avoid this, I have to write an assert(obj !is null); again.
This really sucks. If anybody else works with my Code and puts

wonder why he gets a runtime error instead.
Thats very annoying...
For that, you have static if contitions, and indeed you can make
it a compile-time error.

Your code is still missing 'new':
auto alg = new Algorisme!(int, int);
With only this change, I receive this error:
$ gdmd-4.6 algorisme.d
algorisme.d:21: Error: cannot implicitly convert expression

int function(int)
Unrelated recommendations:
- Return 0 from main() for successful exit, anything else by
convention means some sort of error.
- Take advantage of constructors (and 'alias') to simplify
syntax and risk of bugs:
import std.conv, std.stdio, std.stream, std.string;
import std.socket, std.socketstream;
import std.datetime;
class Algorisme(U,V) {
string nom;
uint versio;
alias V function (U) Funcio;
Funcio funcio;
this(string nom, uint versio, Funcio funcio)
{
this.nom = nom;
this.versio = versio;
this.funcio = funcio;
}
}
int main(string [] args)
{
alias Algorisme!(int, int) MeuAlgorism;
auto alg = new MeuAlgorism("Doblar", 1,
(int a) { return 2 * a; });
return 0;
}
Ali
With all of your suggestion
[https://gist.github.com/2394274], I get:

What fails?
PS: Thanks for your recommendations...
PPS: By the other hand, I see you have learned catalan
("MeuAlgorisme"?) ;-)
Problem may be here:
alg.funcio = (int a) { return 2 * a; };
2.057 and earlier (You may use gdc 2.057 and command line
wrapper gdmd), function literal always deduced as 'delegate'.
So this expression raises an error about type mismatching Lhs
of 'int function(int)' and Rhs of 'int delegate(int) pure
nothrow'.
Then, specifying explicit 'function' will resolve issue:
alg.funcio = function(int a) { return 2 * a; };
Bye.
Kenji Hara
Thanks, Kenji. If I change function to delegate in declaration
of field, it works too. What do you recommend to have delegates
or functions? What are the benefits and ...
Thanks,
Xan.
For an example, you can't use function-pointer to access
non-static methods, while with delegates you can. You can see
some examples on http://www.dlang.org (Languate Reference).

Re: Calling a C++ Object from D
Unfortunately, you cant use C++ namespaces. More about interfacing to C++ here: http://www.dlang.org/cpp_interface.html . The easiest way to solve this is to write a C function that will glue your code with the C++ library.

C++ vs D aggregates
I recently stumbled on this thread: http://stackoverflow.com/ questions/5666321/what-is-assignment-via-curly-braces-called-and-can-it- be-controlled The important part is this: 8< - begin - The Standard says in section §8.5.1/1, An aggregate is an array or a class (clause 9) with no user-declared constructors (12.1), no private or protected non-static data members (clause 11), no base classes (clause 10), and no virtual functions (10.3). And then it says in §8.5.1/2 that, When an aggregate is initialized the initializer can contain an initializer-clause consisting of a brace-enclosed, comma-separated list of initializer-clauses for the members of the aggregate, written in increasing subscript or member order. If the aggregate contains subaggregates, this rule applies recursively to the members of the subaggregate. >8 - end - Do D2 aggregates behave the same, or are there notable differences?
Re: Compile time metaprogramming
David, to be frank, your code is already useful! Something is better than *nothing*! I hope you or someone else will continue with these two modules, and include them in Phobos.
Re: piping processes
We talked about that too on IRC - the conclusion was - we should have std.pipe module with (at least) AnonymousPipe, and NamedPipe classes.
Re: piping processes
NMS wrote: > Is there a cross-platform way to create a new process and get its i/o > streams? Like java.lang.Process? I doubt. However, you can use platform-specific popen() (POSIX) and _popen() (Windows) for that. I recently talked about this on IRC. At the moment Phobos uses system() , redirects the output of a command to a temp file, and reads the file (that is how the shell() is implemented on Windows). My question was - why not using _popen() ???

Sure it can be useful sometimes to know (roughly) the size of your classes.
I modified the function to:
auto getFieldsSizeOf(T)() {
size_t result;
foreach (type; RepresentationTypeTuple!T) {
static if (is(type == class) ) {
result += getFieldsSizeOf!type();
} else {
result += type.sizeof;
}
}
return result;
}
As you can see, it goes little bit deeper so code like this:
class Bar { int x, y; Foo f; }
writeln(fieldsSizeOf!Bar);
gives us 16 as output not 8.

Is there a portable way to limit memory/cpu usage of a D application?
I would be satisfied with something like POSIX.1-2001 setrlimit() . Sure nothing prevents me from using setrlimit() in my D app, but perhaps it is something to think about a portable way of doing that. One thing I like about my Java apps is that I can always specify (in the argument list) how much memory I want to allocate for them). Yes, it is a JVM specific thing, but perhaps a GC should have options to set at least the memory limit? Kind regards
