Re: Lock-Free Actor-Based Flow Programming in D2 for GSOC2011?

2011-07-11 Thread eris
My library uses a straight-forward reactor approach to handle incoming events (IO, timer etc). The library is structured as one-thread-per-core and as many co-routines (fibers) per thread as memory will allow. The threads communicate with each other via lock-free single-writer, single-reader

Assembly Integration into Compiler

2011-07-07 Thread eris
I believe I read in TDPL that D2 compilers actually assemble asm statement code directly. This would seem to break modularity and require every compiler to re-implement every possible assembler. Not exactly good news for a systems programming language. I hope I read that incorrectly because it

I'm sure it's a good assembler, I'm just thinking that if you wanted to cross-develop for ARM or some other CPU you would have to write the assembler for it rather than leverage an existing ARM assembler. Perhaps its easy enough to snag the critical assembler components from an existing

Converting from tango.Atomic to D2 core.atomic

2011-07-06 Thread eris
Hi, I've been converting 'qtd' (the qt lib interface for D) to ldc / D2 version. Apparently some areas of the phobos and druntime library are still a little green for D2 or LDC2 because I'm jumping through some hoops to make it work. Minor Issues: 1. core.thread is still using 'volatile'

Yes, but it appears that I must have checked out an earlier version that had bugs. I'm not sure how that happened. I built it according to the directions on the qtd page. After looking at their Atomic.d implementation, I see numerous updates that should fix several issues. I'll re-checkout

unittest behavior

2010-07-12 Thread eris
Assuming -unittest is asserted, should a D compiler generate and run unittest code for classes that have unittests, but don't reference the class during execution? I noticed that gdc does compile them in, but the current version of ldc doesn't. eris

Re: unittest behavior

2010-07-12 Thread eris
Slight clarification of unittest behavior: - ldc will compile the unittest as long as a single reference to the class remains - gdc will compile the unittest regardless ie: class A { void hello() { Stdout(hello); } unittest { A myobj; myobj = new A(); a.hello() } void main() { A
