Ruby and (digitalmars) D in combination via RubyInline?

Stephan Mueller

Hi,

has anybody tried to embed some D [1] code in Ruby via RubyInline [2]?
Or other approaches to combine D and Ruby? As RubyInline supports
compiler plugins, this might be possible to do. And it might be a little
bit more fun than using C... ;)


Cheers,

Steph.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but that looks like a copy/paste of the
regular ruby headers with appropriate prefix code for D, yes? If so,
and if actually needed for basic functionality, I don't really want
to wrap this up (and more importantly, maintain it) for inline.

If there is some more maintainable way, I'd be intrigued.

yes, essentially it is adapting the Ruby headers for D, making the C
symbols/constants accessable to D.

Like I said, it's kind of low level. There were C parsers to do that
translation automatically, but weren't very good at it (at least when
I did my wrapper).

A better way would be to build something along the lines of:

or respectively the ruby cocoa stuff.

Have a nice day,
