I also ordered it from Amazon UK, and got the same message. But the book is, as far as I know, finished and printed. So I suppose it's mostly a matter of transportation time. :) -Lars

At amazon.co.uk it costs £18.50, while at amazon.com it sells for $42.70 -- roughly £29. Also, for Europeans, the delivery cost is lower if you order from UK. -Lars

Master Thesis using D Programming language.
Hello everyone, I am looking for a master thesis topic using D Programming language. Earlier I choose Design by Introspection, but I did not find enough material in academic journals. DbI total material which I found is DConf Andrei talk and the similar talk at Google campus, which starts with 50 Deutsche Mark story and ends with explaining PbD, DbI and other Dlang internals. No doubt that Andrei's discussion was great. DbI as a topic is excellent, but as per my university requirements, I was not able to find five articles in the last five years in any academic journal, to start the initial discussion about the research topic. I am still opened with my topic, next week, I have to submit my draft proposal. Till now, I did not meet my dissertation advisor. I am looking for something practical and less theoretical. I have found some thesis done using Rust, you guys as a language expert can these below projects be achievable using D Programming language. http://www.barrelfish.org/publications/ma-foellmic-bfrust.pdf https://www.diva-portal.org/smash/get/diva2:1238890/FULLTEXT01.pdf https://github.com/Gankra/thesis/blob/master/thesis.pdf Regards, Tariq Siddiqui.
The D Programming Language page 161.
Hello.
I am trying to learn D using (among other things) "The D
Programming Language" book.
On page 161 it says:
snippet...
void writeln(string a0, int a1, string a2, int[new] a3) {
...snippet
I am wondering about the expression "int[new] a3"
What does that mean? I have checked, and it does not compile with
the current compiler - it says: Error: basic type expected, not ]
...
It is not mentioned in the errata for the book.

Error in 'The D Programming Language' (2010)?
I have copied more or less verbatim an example from The D
Programming Language, under 1.4.3 Counting Frequencies. Lambda
Functions
This is the code
import std.stdio,
std.string;
void main()
{
uint[string] freqs;
// Compute counts
foreach (line; stdin.byLine())
{
foreach (word; split(strip(line)))
{
++freqs[word.idup];
}
}
// Print counts
string[] words = freqs.keys;
sort!((a, b) { return freqs[a] > freqs[b]; })(words); // won't
compile
foreach (word; words)
{
writefln("%6u\t%s", freqs[word], words);
}
}
Both DMD and GDC complain, saying
Error: template instance sort!((a, b)
{
return freqs[a] > freqs[b];
}
) template 'sort' is not defined
Have I made a mistake, or has the D syntax perhaps changed since
the book was published?
I don't understand this functional voodoo stuff, so I don't have
the faintest clue how to fix it myself
Anyone know how to fix this?

Well, what would you like to study? Generally, the thesis will be of a topic that is (a) great interest to you and (b) has room for improvement in the field. The theses you listed cover OS development, memory safe kernel programming, and safety generally, respectively. Is this the area you wish to work in? What about other areas, such as concurrency, message passing, high performance, Type Theory, etc.? You mentioned Design by Introspection hard to find material about. What if you broaden this a bit and consider the topic of metaprogramming more generally? Best of luck to you

Metaprogramming really has a very significant benefit in practice. And disign by introspection is one way it can be used.

Around the time the book was written, there was a debate as to if
we should make dynamic arrays and slices two different types.
T[new] was the proposed syntax for a dynamic array, leaving T[]
to be a slice.
The reasoning would be to separate a window into the memory block
- the slice - from the memory block itself, the array. This is
the case with static arrays: int[10] != int[], but not with
dynamic arrays. The advantage of the separation would be to help
keep track of the array's ownership - appending to a T[new] could
resize the block, whereas appending to a T[] would be a whole new
allocation, among other things.
However, minds were changed and T[new] never actually came to be.
Instead, slice append was changed to address the ownership
stomping problem, it asks the gc for capacity at the end. The old
problem is solved, and it didn't break any code by introducing a
new type... everyone wins, except for the few things written
about T[new] that weren't updated.
This article goes into the append to slice problem and solution
in more detail:
http://dlang.org/d-array-article.html
Bottom line, any time you see T[new] in the book, just replace it
with T[] and it should all work. So int[] a3 ought to compile and
do the same thing described.
BTW, I don't see this item in the list, but on Andrei's website,
there's a list of little changes since the printing:

I think it was just an oversight that it was left in the book, I don't
recall reading about that syntax on any other page.

Programming in D vs The D Programming Language
Hello, after quite some time I'm returning to D being fed up with some other languages to become more ready for writing open-source multi-platform desktop app(s)... I already own copy of Andrei's The D Programming Language book, but never went fully through it, but I see in the meantime Programming in D by Ali was released so I wonder: a) how much is Andrei's book still relevant? b) whether PiD is recommended one to start with D *today* ? Btw, I prefer hardcopy books, if possible, and interested whether there is plan to release PiD with hardcover since several reviewers @Amazon reported that the glued used to bind the book is not the best* Sincerely, Gour

Putting Phobos aside, I aim at including every keyword and pseudo keyword and every feature in the book. Even if I decide not to cover a particular keyword or feature, it should exist in the index. If you catch an omission please let me know. The benefit of an online book is that it can be up-to-date very quickly. For example, reduce() has already been replaced with fold() that came with 2.071: :) http://ddili.org/ders/d.en/ranges.html#ix_ranges.fold,%20std.algorithm (The CreateSpace edition has been updated as well but it takes a while for the readers see that change.) Having said that, there are some omissions of how some features interact. Ali

I think it is a fantastic resource and have made much use out of it. I hope you keep updating it. It just happens that there are always some random quirks in D that I only notice if I pay really close attention to the spec. For instance, until Andrei pointed it out today I didn't realize that virtual member functions can't be templates. I've probably seen the line in the spec page, but didn't process it fully because the examples they use in there are not the best. At least with your book, everything is very readable with good examples.

I also tried to keep the examples straightforward, but the text talking about the process and thoughts behind it, so you can adapt that to your own purposes and that is fairly timeless.

PiD starts as a tutorial to novices but can also be used a D language (not Phobos) reference because it includes virtually everything.

However, I've never seen one with a bad glue. I think this is due to different regional printers: Perhaps the printers that shipped to my address (Bay Area, California) were better. (?)

Otoh, if I'd put paperback in hardcover at some local shop. it would cost me additional $10 - almost the price difference, but I might think about it since the end result might be better.

I agree and I doubt that I will ever see PinD on a local bookshop shelf. What I meant was, IngramSpark makes it *possible* at all for a local bookshop to order the book for you and that you can return it for a full refund. The differences are: * Because they boycot CreateSpace due to its affiliation with Amazon, a local bookstore will not store books printed by CreateSpace. This is because the wholesale discount is too little from CreateSpace and local book stores do not agree with certain practices of Amazon's book business. * They will still order for you a book by CreateSpace only if you pay up front and if you understand that the book is not returnable. (Because CreateSpace books are simply not returnable.) On the other hand, if the local book store orders the book from IngramSpark, then you need not prepay and you (and the bookstore) can return it. So, I really think that your local bookstore will order one of the IngramSpark printing. And you will not pay for customs or shipping. >> dinner in Berlin at DConf. ;) ) > > Thank you for an invitation - I'm not sure I'll make it 11 hours by car to Berlin seems a little long for you but there must be trains in Europe. ;) I hope you and many others can make it.

Andrei's "The D Programming Language" book. Up to date?
Hi all, This is my first message to this forum. And what a pleasure it is to be here. :) I was just looking around at what D books are available. I see that Andrei's "The D Programming Language" was published in 2010. What's changed in the language, library, and community since then that I should be aware of if following along with and learning from that book? Incidentally, is a new edition is on its way any time soon? Thanks!

Most of the differences from times back then are because we now have much more third-party libraries, and the implementation is much more stable. Or that's what I've heard anyway. And I think that the book is ahead of it's time, advertising features that probably only barely worked and were seldom used back then. Just what Modern c++ is known for too. That makes it feel easily three years younger than it really is. I wasn't here myself trough so I don't know for sure.

I just made some tweaks to it, though it's still probably far from complete as far as stuff not mentioned in TDPL goes. As for unimplemented stuff, it made it sound like shared isn't implemented (which isn't true at all; it just doesn't have memory barriers like TDPL talks about; the big thing missing for shared is arguably that the memory model for D needs to be properly defined like C++ finally did, but TDPL doesn't talk about that at all), and the wiki page didn't list synchronized classes, which is the other big one that isn't implemented (though putting synchronized on classes actually has _some_ effect now, which it didn't until fairly recently). - Jonathan M Davis
Trying to compile sample from The D Programming Language book.
Hello, I am completely stuck on this error, any help would be appreciated...
google was not helpful (too many useless matches for "D ").
I am trying to compile this:
import std.string, std.algorithm, std.conv, std.ctype, std.regex, std.range,
std.stdio;
// blah blah blah
auto words = split(sentence, regex("[ \t,.;:?]+"));
// blah blah blah
and two compilers (gdc, dmd) are giving me this error (output from gdc):
main.d:34: Error: std.string.split at
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.5.1/../../../../include/d2/4.5.1/std/string.d:69
conflicts with std.regex.split(String) at
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.5.1/../../../../include/d2/4.5.1/std/regex.d:3096
And I am clueless. How can they conflict, it's the standard library. It must
be in the usage of split. As this is the second or third example in chapter
one, I have no clue what is going on.
Thanks!
Re: Trying to compile sample from The D Programming Language book.
I got it to compile adding std.regex to split to make it:
auto words = std.regex.split (sentence, regex("[ \t,.;:?]+"));
So now my question is, is this an error in the book? The errata doesn't
mention anything about this section. Why do I have to prepend std.regex?
Thanks!

If both regex and string have a split function and the compiler can't tell
which one you mean, then you're going to have to tell the compiler which split
you mean, because there's an ambiguity. So, assuming that the split that you
mean is the one in std.string, then you'd do
auto words = std.string.split(sentence, regex("[ \t,.;:?]+"));
Another option would be to use an alias such as
alias std.string.split split;
so that the whole module assumes that split is the one from std.string. Also,
while for the most part, dmd follows TDPL, in some cases, TDPL is ahead and
dmd hasn't implemented certain things yet. In addition, as far as the standard
library goes, TDPL is not trying to really introduce or explain it for the
most part, and in some cases, the standard library may have changed somewhat
(though generally not drastically) from what's in the book. So, while _most_
examples will compile, some won't.
You should check out the errata page here:
http://erdani.com/tdpl/errata/index.php?title=Main_Page
It also gives you the code for all of the examples as well as telling you
which should currently work.

If the TDPL code does not prefix split then, yes, it is an error. (In fact,
there was maybe no regex split at the time it was written.) You may add it at
the errata page mentionned by Jonathan.
Why do I have to prepend std.regex?
How can the compiler guess you mean std.regex.split; and not std.string.split,
if you don't tell it?

How to print or check if a string is "\0" (null) terminated in the D programming language?
I have a feeling that some parts of my code contains unterminated strings and they do overflow into other string that is to be combined. I'd like to take a look at strings, analyse them manually and see if any of them end up terminated or not. Please provide any relevant examples of how you do this.

I'd like to take a look at strings, analyse them manually and see if any of them end up terminated or not. Please provide any relevant examples of how you do this. In general, you shouldn't do that. In D, a `string`, `wstring` and `dstring` are slices of corresponding character types, and are *not* null-terminated (and in fact can contain 0 within their representation). However, as Andrea Fontana points out, string literals are null-terminated (but note that the terminator itself isn't included in a `string` initialized with such a literal), and also convert to pointers - these two properties allow using them as arguments to C functions. Thus, since null terminator isn't normally included as part of a string, you'd have to read past array bounds to check if there's a 0 there, and doing so leads to undefined behavior. In fact, you should simply assume that any D string you encounter is not null-terminated. And if you want to ensure you're always passing around null-terminated strings, you should either use the greedy allocating functions such as `toStringz`, or perhaps make your own type that always allocates extra space for a 0.
