Re: Boneheaded question regarding compilation...

There is a build command commented out at the top of the main.d file which I've been trying to compile, via the command line: C:\Users\kheas\Documents\Talks\2024\dconf_online\hello_triangle>dmd -g -J. main.d ./glad/gl/*.d -L-L/usr/local/lib -L-lglfw3 -of=prog && ./prog Error: cannot find input file `.\glad\gl\*.d` import path[0] = C:\D\dmd2\windows\bin64\..\..\src\phobos import path[1] = C:\D\dmd2\windows\bin64\..\..\src\druntime\import I'm using a Windows 11 machine so I thought that maybe the syntax was for Linux environment. But replacing all the '/' with '\' did not work. An easier fix may be perhaps to just use 'dub' and install the glfw dependency. In my talk, I did everything from scratch (my preferred way), though I suspect using dub with glfw-d (https://code.dlang.org/packages/glfw-d) may provide less resistance.
Re: Would you recommend TDPL today?

There's also an errata for it, but AFAIK, that just fixes some mistakes it; it doesn't update it. This wiki entry tries to list some of the differences, but I expect that it also is rather out-of-date at this point: https://wiki.dlang.org/Differences_With_TDPL So, TDPL is a good resource, but you have to take into account the fact that some of the details are wrong, which you may not want to do. In that respect, Ali's book would likely work better: http://ddili.org/ders/d.en/index.html It was written more recently, and I'm pretty sure that Ali has updated it on some basis. I fully expect that there are things that you'd get out of TDPL that you wouldn't get from Ali's book, so there's definitely something to said for reading both, but again, whether that makes sense largely depends on whether you want to deal with figuring out which parts of TDPL are still valid. - Jonathan M Davis I'll also add that Adam's Book (D Cookbook) and Mike Parkers Book (Learning D) are both excellent. Mike's is mostly up to date, minus I think the post-blit function calls. Adam's has lots of various samples (may be good to read alongside, or otherwise after Ali or Mike's book once you have a feel for the language).

Is there another flag to set that makes the dmd compiler behave differently? Or is there another way to produce .o files from dlang source code? Best regards pizza_dox_ I haven't tried, but ldc2 may also be an option if dmd does not support this functionality.
Re: anonymous structs within structs

Suppose we need a construct like:
```
void main() {
struct A {
int I1;
int I2;
char X;
}
struct B {
A Dummy;
int Var1;
int Var2;
}
}
```
But do not want to give an explicit name (like 'Dummy' above)
to the A struct held within the B struct.
Just removing 'Dummy' does not work (Error: no identifier for
declarator `A`).
Nor does replacing 'Dummy' with {}
Suggestions?
One possible solution is to use a 'mixin template' where you
effectively 'copy and paste' in the 'struct' and access the
symbols.
Is something like this what you had in mind?
```
void main() {
import std.stdio;
mixin template A() {
int I1;
int I2;
char X;
}
struct B {
mixin A;
int Var1;
int Var2;
}
B someObject;
writeln(someObject.I1);
writeln(someObject.I2);
}
```

I'm setting up a simple local network enabling me to connect
phones to the computer through the local wi-fi. The simplest
way i could think of to make this work without relying on an
external server was to simply broadcast the ip and port to all
machines in the network.(Btw by server i mean my / my project
groups windows boxes).
So well the problem is that i need a way for the phones to
find running servers on the LAN.
I think it is close to impossible to do in portable way. Most
reliable approach is to get list of all configured network
interfaces via posix functions (or via `system` call as least
resort), filter out "lo" and broadcast message for every such
interface. I think you can also filter only wireless interfaces
that way relatively easily too.
Apologies that I am bumping a post that is 9 years old, but I
recently had to do this and thought this may help beginners. In a
way it's a hack as suggested from the second post, that you can
connect to a known ip address (e.g. google) from a socket and
then see the endpoints with the local and remote addresses.
```
import std.stdio;
import std.socket;
void GetIP(){
// A bit of a hack, but we'll create a connection from
google to
// our current ip.
// Use a well known port (i.e. google) to do this
auto r = getAddress("8.8.8.8",53); // NOTE: This is
effetively getAddressInfo
writeln(r);
// Create a socket
auto sockfd = new Socket(AddressFamily.INET,
SocketType.STREAM);
// Connect to the google server
import std.conv;
const char[] address = r[0].toAddrString().dup;
ushort port = to!ushort(r[0].toPortString());
sockfd.connect(new InternetAddress(address,port));
// Obtain local sockets name and address
writeln(sockfd.hostName);
writeln("Our ip address: ",sockfd.localAddress);
writeln("the remote address: ",sockfd.remoteAddress);
// Close our socket
sockfd.close();
}
```
