Cool, thanks. The stuff about using c_long and c_ulong is
particularly useful/relevant to my use-case, so it's good to be
reminded of that.
Hi Joseph,
How's things in Berlin? :-) I'm not sure how complex the C-Api
you're wrapping is, but I have to say I found that writing a
minimal (but complete) subset of an existing C-API to be quite
straightforward and enjoyable. A plus point was that selecting
only the useful minimal subset meant the D wrapper ended up being
a lot cleaner and meant that unused (or undesirable) features
simply weren't there in the wrapped API.
YMMV but it's one to bear in mind...
Cheers,
A.
