No, unfortunately D cannot interface with C templates, only C++
templates. But just by coincidence this is C++ source code (and
so the templates).
So it is possible but there is few catches.
- template functions/methods could be inlined by compiler,
which means you may (or may not) have to implement it in D
(either copy-paste and adapt, or make own ABI compatible
implementation)
- most of the methods in this particular template is purely C++
specific convenience helpers, all of this isn't strictly needed
in D, just for example operator-> could simply be replaced with
alias this.
- the only data member in this template is the
std::aligned_storage, which you can probably ignore completely
and instead just use fixed-size ubyte[] array with align, again
just make struct with alias this and align its content same way
as aligned_storage does.
And much more-more other things to keep in mind.
But the most important thing, are you absolutely sure this is a
part of the public API and not the implementation specific
internals? Because normally you don't #include anything other
than .h* files, this is a source file, and it is not even sits
in the include folder.
Thanks a lot for the great help.
You are right, until now I haven't looked at the include folder,
I thought the "surface" folder is the folder with the public api.
But it seems also in the include folder, the header files
contains references to the grpc_call struct.
