Please, help. The HashSet defines different constructors based on the nature of tha allocator: https://github.com/economicmodeling/containers/blob/master/src/containers/hashset.d#L30 Specifically, if the allocator has zero state (like Mallocator), you do not pass an instance. If the allocator does have state, like InSituRegion, you need to pass an instance to the container's constructor.

You can use poll on the file descriptor (which can be gotten with
File.fileno). Basically something like this (untested):
while (ImWaiting)
{
if (processPipes.stdout.eof)
{
// The child is done writing (has exited, generally
speaking)
}
//TODO set up poll items
pollfd pfd = { processPipes.stdout.fileno, POLLIN };
// Use 0 for timeout so that we don't wait; if you don't have
anything else
// to do, you can use a real timeout value
if (1 == poll(&pfd, 1, 0))
{
// New data is available on the child's stdout, do
something with it
}
// Do other things, sleep, etc.
}

That's creating an infinite recursion as the method simply calls itself.
Assuming the class inherits from ListStore, you can just erase the remove
method entirely and let the base class handle it. If you want to do
something extra, use:
override void remove(TreeIter iter)
{
// Anything custom
super.remove(iter);
// Anything custom
}

I don't think you want reverse because it works in-place; you'd need to
make a copy to compare against. std.range.retro is probably what you're
looking for:
bool isPalindrome(R)(R range) if (isBidirectionalRange!R)
{
return range.equal(range.retro);
}
Obviously this does more work than strictly necessary, but has the
brevity you're looking for.

My understanding is that the GC won't return collected memory to the OS unless a threshold relative the system total is crossed. You can use GC.minimize() from core.memory to decrease this. This could result in degraded performance.

So when byLine progresses to the next line the strings (slices) returned previously now point into a buffer with different contents. You should either use byLineCopy or .idup to create copies of the relevant strings. If your use-case allows for streaming and doesn't require having all the data present at once, you could continue to use byLine and just be careful not to refer to previous rows.

You can use GC.addRoot() from core.memory before passing the pointer to

It doesn't look like you're allocating space for `e` or `d`, e.g. `auto e
= new ubyte[](256);`, so those arrays have a length of 0, in which case
the encrypt/decrypt functions are just trashing their way through memory.

If you use blocking sockets, you should probably spawn a new thread for
each client. If you use non-blocking sockets, you need to use poll or
select to wait for incoming connections or data.

`spawnProcess`: The optional arguments stdin, stdout and stderr may be
used to assign arbitrary std.stdio.File objects as the standard input,
output and error streams, respectively, of the child process. The former
must be opened for reading, while the latter two must be opened for
writing.
For POSIX, seems like you could pass `File("/dev/null", "r")` for stdin
and `File("/dev/null", "w")`. On Windows I believe you can use `File
("nul")` for the same effect.

Please. A pipe can be unidirectional only, but you can use more than one. In this case, you want to create at least two files in the parent process, one open for writing and one for reading. Pass the one open for writing as the child's stdin, the one for reading as the child's stdout. This will allow you to write to and read from the child. Regarding your second question, spawnProcess is not blocking, so the parent process will continue execution immediately. Unless you mean you want the child process to outlive the parent, in which case... Having the parent terminate without causing problems for the child is a tricky issue. Here's why: when the parent terminates, the child is going to be unowned and have its stdin and stdout closed (because the parent's ends are closed). It is possible to reown the process (to nohup for instance), but I'm not sure what you can do about the closed stdin and stdout.

You can use the C mkfifo function (import core.sys.posix.sys.stat) to
create new named pipes.
Once created you should be able to open a FIFO with `File("blah.ipc",
"rw")` in both processes. Because you aren't using the standard file
descriptors, you can spawn the child process however you like.

Actually, if I recall correctly, trying to read and write a FIFO pipe
from the same end is undefined behavior on Linux and illegal in Unix. If
you really want a single "pipe" with two-way traffic, use a domain socket.

You need to use `auto ref` to have this work with both classes and

What do you mean by offset? If you simply mean the index of the match,
as your example seems to indicate, you can zip the matches with iota or
sequence!"n".
If you want the offset in the string where each match begins I think
you're out of luck. I needed something similar a while ago and the best

And if you need more than the default 6 digits of precision after the
decimal, you can use a precision specifier, e.g. for 10 digits: `format
("%.10f", n)`

You have a few options: * The old std.stream -- this module is due for replacement, hopefully ASAP. * Use File.rawRead/rawWrite.

What benefits would accrue from adding this? Static verification that a

this instead:
static assert(isInputRange!SomeRange);

If so, we need concept definition syntax, but we do not necessarily need a "struct realizes concept" syntax. And, in fact, I would argue against it as a static assert would continue to be sufficient.

That's because it produces a segmentation fault, which rdmd masks for
some reason. The `parsed["fail"]` should throw a range bounds exception--
not sure why it's not.

The `in` expression produces a pointer to the value in the container, not
a bool. If the key is not present in the container, it returns the null
pointer. So this test is working precisely as expected. Here are some
common idioms for working with `in` and associative arrays:
// if with declaration
if (auto vptr = "fail" in parsed.object)
writeln("here's the value: ", *vptr);
else
writeln("fail is not in the JSON");
// coerce to bool
writeln(!!("fail" in parsed.object));
// get the value or a default value
writeln(parsed.object.get("fail", someDefaultJson));

Read: http://www.json.org/, and try putting "1" > or "foo" as JSON string here: http://jsonlint.com/ Nope, while the spec calls out objects and arrays as the structural elements of JSON, it never requires (anywhere that I can find) that a complete JSON document have one of these at the root. A valid JSON value is defined as "A JSON value can be an object, array, number, string, true, false, or null"[1] Thus the parseJSON function is defined as parsing as JSONValue. 1 http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/files/ECMA-ST/ ECMA-404.pdf, p2

While I suspect the reason is simply historical, it might be a type- safety/information problem as well. Variant can store values of essentially any type whereas JSON is strictly limited to a handful of simple types. Going from a JSON string to Variant might not be troublesome, but going from Variant to JSON string almost certainly would. That said, if you think it's worth it, I'd be up for reviewing a revamped std.json.

You're not really using regexes properly. You want to greedily match as
much as possible in this case, e.g.:
void main()
{
import std.regex;
auto re = regex("ab(cd)?");
assert("PREabcdPOST".matchFirst(re).hit == "abcd");
assert("PREabPOST".matchFirst(re).hit == "ab");
}

E.g. the pattern 'a +' might match a longer sequence than 'aaa'. If you're out for the longest possible match, iteratively testing each pattern is probably the way to go.

That's right. Perhaps we need an `asBool` function or even an
opCast!bool that returns false on FALSE, NULL, and possibly empty strings/

Before the introduction of __traits(compiles, ...), `is(typeof(...))` was used.
It works because the is expression evaluates to false if the contents don't have
a type or are semantically invalid. So this code creates a delegate to test
the various properties--if it would compile, the delegate has a type and `is`
returns true.
The inout int parameter is very hacky, see this thread:

Yes, this compiles because the lambda forms a closure over f. In some respects this might even be better than the C++ as there is the possibility for inlining because the lambda literal is passed by alias.

The short answer is no. I usually use something like this: // Lazy auto stream = stdin.byChunk(4096).joiner(); You can make it eager by tacking a `.array` on the end.

This, incidentally is why there is no Deimos binding for OpenGL: it cannot be statically linked (unless you go with a software implementation like MESA) because libGL is provided by the end user's video hardware drivers. If you're writing games or similar that you want to distribute, definitely go with the dynamic bindings that Derelict provides.

Part of what readln does is *modify* the slice itself, not just the pointed-to characters. In particular it alters the length member so that you know how much input was actually read. This is also why the rvalue reference shouldn't work. Remember, D chose not to repeat C's mistake of relying on null terminators.

If you've compiled the contents of nicea to a static library (.a) with -lib, then you need to link that library by tacking a `-Llibnicea.a` onto your compilation command.

I think the correct solution will make use of std.range.frontTraversal, but it will be a bit more complex due to needing to sum every column. std.range.traversal would make it easy, but it requires random access.

This has nothing to do with new--you're trying to use a virtual function
scoped
to class userName with a string. Rewrite it to a static module-scoped
function:
class userName {
string name;
this(string name)
{
this.name = name;
}
}
void sayHello(string name)
{
writeln(name);
}
void main()
{
string name = "Suliman";
userName username = new userName(name);
userName.name.sayHello();
}
How to share modules when using -shared?
I'm trying to build components that I can dynamically link and keep running into an issue with sharing modules between the host and the pluggable components. Assuming a layout like this: host.d -- loads components at runtime a.d -- a module that builds to `a.so` b.d -- a module that builds to `b.so` common.d If a.d and b.d both import common.d, all is well. If host.d imports common.d as well, I get this at runtime: Fatal Error while loading 'a.so': The module 'common' is already defined in 'host'. Test session with sources here: http://pastebin.com/LxsqHhJm Some of this can be worked around by having host.d use its own extern definitions, but how does this work with interfaces? My tests thus far have resulted in object invariant failures.

Two issues: 1) The function supplied to map should be a projection function, e.g. it takes a value and returns a value. Your lambda returns void (the result of writeln). 2) map is lazy--it doesn't do any work until something consumes it. This is awesome for many reasons (e.g. you can process infinite ranges). Nothing in your code is causing the result of map to be consumed, so it does no work. > finally i got it working with this: > auto t = [0,1,2].map!(v => uniform(0.0,1.0)); > writeln(t); This works because writeln eagerly consumes the result of map, causing the work to actually be done. If you like, you can tack the writeln to the end of the pipeline: auto t = [0,1,2].map!(v => uniform(0.0,1.0)).writeln;

The Alpha struct is not a template, only the constructor is. Remove the

Use std.string.format or std.format.formattedWrite. std.format contains a description of the various format specifiers. You'll probably want something like "%.12f", which formats a floating point number with 12 digits of precision.

std.variant.Algebraic implements ADTs:
import std.variant, std.string;
struct Foo { ... }
alias A = Algebraic!(int, double, Foo);
A a = 1;
// std.variant.visit enforces that all possible types are handled, so this
// is an error:
auto res = a.visit!(
(int x) => format("Got an int: %s", x),
(double x) => format("Got a double: %s", x),
(Foo x) => "Got a Foo"
);
You can also dispatch to a function with the appropriate overloads/
template instantiations like so:
foreach (T; A.AllowedTypes)
if (a.type is typeid(T))
myfunc(a.get!T);
This also exhaustively guarantees that myfunc can be called with all
possible types of a.

1. I wouldn't worry too much about the performance--compiling with gdc or
ldc with inlining should reduce it to a simple access.
2. You can clean it up if it annoys you with something like this:
mixin template readonly(T, string name)
{
mixin(`private T _`~name~`;T `~name~`()@property{return _`~name~`;}`);
}
Use it like:
class Foo
{
// injects a private int _x, public int x()
mixin readonly!(int, "x");
}

I believe the best solution here is to use the lazy toLowerCase function in std.uni and the default predicate: if (startsWith(input.toLowerCase, "0x".toLowerCase))
Re: Create a case-insensitive startsWith
Note that my solution relies on the pre-release version of std.uni, those lazy functions aren't in the latest release.

MapResult is a wrapper around your original range that performs the mapping operation lazily. If you want eagerly evaluate and get back to an array use the std.array.array function: import std.array : array; auto y = x.map!(a => exp(a)).array; Or if you have already allocated an array of the appropriate size you can use std.algorithm.copy: import std.algorithm : copy; float[] y = new float[](appropriate_length); x.map!(a => exp(a)).copy(y);

Is the difference > between using an interface and not using one noticeable? For some real numbers, a while back I wrote up several variations on a "big data" type process for a presentation on memory performance and the importance of cache hits. The classic Java-style class-based version ran in 4 seconds while the lazy range struct version ran in 0.83 seconds. Using LDC to inline (impossible with interfaces) brought the runtime down to 0.38 seconds.
