Thanks for sharing! Your solution is more complete for sure. I

I've been playing around with this a bit and it works pretty
well. One thing that bothers me is the handling of NSString. I
came up with the following class to handle strings and make sure
they do not leak. But maybe there is a nicer way to handle this
in D?
class NSStringRef {
public:
this(string s) {
str_ =
NSString.alloc.initWithBytes(cast(immutable(ubyte)*) s.ptr,
s.length,
NSStringEncoding.NSUTF8StringEncoding);
}
~this() {
str_.release();
}
NSString str() @property {
return str_;
}
private:
NSString str_;
}
And then you have to use it like this:
NSStringRef s = new NSStringRef("Hello");
NSLog(s.str);
Ideally I would like to write code more like this (without
leaking the NSString):
NSLog("Hello".nsstring);
Surely this must be possible in D somehow? :)
