Packaging and Distributing Dlang Applications with GtkD Dependency?
Hi y'all, I've been Googling how to do this, but coming up with nothing definitive. Are there any articles for how to do this for: Windows? Linux? other UNIX-alike OSs?

Sorry for my badly-phrased question, I think I need to clarify... What I'm looking for is a system for bundling dlang apps and their dependencies for distribution to end users. Hopefully, this bundler will: - install the app in an appropriate place (like C:\Program Files\, - install libraries/dependencies (such as GtkD) also in an appropriate place, - make any modifications to the system PATH that may be necessary for the app to run, and - handle any other roadblocks that will keep the user from using the app. Whether this is an actual pre-existing application bundler or just a list of instructions I can follow so I can end up with a distributable one-click-does-it-all (on Windows, at least) package. Similarly, on Linux or other UNIX-alikes, a breakdown of how to use apt or something similar to do the same so the user can (for instance) just do: apt-get to install.

I know no one that works with Linux package systems.

Re: Inspecting __traits(isDeprecated) and deprecation warnings

I added some deprecations in my project and am going through my
templates trying to silence the warnings that suddenly popped up.
This template works, but it triggers deprecation warnings when I
am actively trying to avoid them.
getMember in _traits(isDeprecated, __traits(getMember, T, name))
causes a warning on deprecated symbols, which I wanted to avoid
with isDeprecated, but I couldn't without first calling getMember
to get the symbol to evaluate it. There's no way to combine
isDeprecated with getMember without getting a warning.
I worked around the issue by using .tupleof instead of getMember,
which breaks it for classes (.tupleof needs a `this` and
SomeClass.init can't be it) but silences warnings for structs.
https://run.dlang.io/is/TVR8Cb
import std;
void main()
{
static assert(longestMemberName!Foo == "bbb".length);
}
struct Foo
{
string s;
int ii;
bool bbb;
deprecated("Use `s`")
string ;
}
template longestMemberName(T)
if (is(T == struct))
{
enum longestMemberName = ()
{
size_t maxLength;
T thing; // need a `this`
foreach (immutable i, member; thing.tupleof)
{
static if (!__traits(isDeprecated, thing.tupleof[i])
&&
!isType!(thing.tupleof[i]))
{
enum name = __traits(identifier,
thing.tupleof[i]);
maxLength = max(maxLength, name.length);
}
}
return maxLength;
}();
}

I tried reading up on dub, but got lost in the docs, so I really don't understand what all it can do.

Append to an array, sort it, and be happy? :) Ali Hi, Ali, It turns out that the GTK Notebook has its own built-in mechanism for tracking tabs. Two things got me going down the wrong road on this: 1) the fact that Notebook.appendPage() returns an ever-increasing index each time a page is added, and 2) trying to quit caffeine. I chased my tail for a full week (seriously: a full week!) trying to come up with a way to track tabs. Then I got tired of doing face-plants on my desk, took up coffee again, and solved it in three hours. The moral of the story is: don't quit coffee until you have nothing left to contribute to this world. :)
How to get the address of an instance of a class
I wrote the following code to get the address of a class
instance, but it doesn't work.
Please let me know if there is a way to write it to work properly.
private import std;
```
class C
{
C* this_pointer()
{
return this;
}
}
void main()
{
C Z = new C();
writeln(&Z == Z.this_pointer());
}
```

Classes are always references. I think you can just cast 'Z' to
void* to get the address.
Conversely &Z should be an address on the stack.
Difference between slice[] and slice
Just got through debugging a line of code which uses dynamic array. It boiled to to my use of []. How should I "D think" about slice[]? The run time error seems to say the the length of [] is zero. I was assuming that [] meant "the entirety" of the array. In short, is there anytime that one would want to use "slice[] = something" syntax?I //waste[] = waste[0..$-1]; // object.Error@(0): Array lengths don't match for copy: 0 != 1 waste = waste[0..$-1]; // works

In that example, the slice does not include the last element anymore. Ali

This code seems to work for classes too and even with DMD "-de"
compiler switch.
template isMemberDeprecated(T, string name)
{
enum isMemberDeprecated = mixin(q{__traits(isDeprecated, },
T, ".", name, q{)});

But which element(s)? In my specific case, I was using []. Is waste[] = waste[0..$-1]; even semantically meaningful? Because the LDC compiler had no problem compiling it. > //waste[] = waste[0..$-1]; // object.Error@(0): Array lengths don't > match for copy: 0 != 1 > > waste = waste[0..$-1]; // works That makes slice refer to a different set of elements.

Because the LDC compiler had no problem compiling it. `waste[]` is just shorthand for `waste[0..$]`. Assigning to a slice means copying the contents of another array into the array that slice refers to. If the lengths of the source and destination don't match, you get an error. Since `waste[0..$]` and `waste[0..$-1]` can never have the same length, you will always get an error if you try to assign one to the other. Source: https://dlang.org/spec/arrays.html#array-copying

Ok. But which element(s)? All of them. For example, `slice[] = 42;` sets all elements to 42. And `slice[] = another_slice[];` replaces all elements of `slice` with copies of `another_slice`'s elements. In my specific case, I was using []. Is waste[] = waste[0..$-1]; even semantically meaningful? Because the LDC compiler had no problem compiling it. It's equivalent to this: waste[0] = waste[0..$-1][0]; waste[1] = waste[0..$-1][1]; ... waste[waste.length - 2] = waste[0..$-1][waste.length - 2]; waste[waste.length - 1] = waste[0..$-1][waste.length - 1]; So it basically does nothing. It just copies `waste`'s elements over themselves. Except that the last line makes an out-of-bounds access. That's an error that may be detected during compilation or at run time. Or if you're telling the compiler to optimize too aggressively, it might go unnoticed.
Using D for Raspberry Pi expirements
I'm looking for resources on using D for basic Raspberry Pi programming...stuff like turning on and off an LED light. I believe it requires being able to call the Raspberry OS core APIs from D as available in Python. Anyone here tried something like that using D?

I haven't tried with D yet, but I use C# and mono calling into the pigpio C library (http://abyz.me.uk/rpi/pigpio/pdif2.html) and it workes great. You should be able to do the same with D. Mike
