How can I write the RTAI_DO_TRAP in D?

Thats a nasty looking macro , it might be beneficial to make a simple test
program that calls RTAI_DO_TRAP , and run it through just the preprocesor
see whats actually getting called.  For gcc ( -E ) , for dmc ( -e ) .

And D supports inline asm also , http://www.digitalmars.com/d/iasm.html .

Great work on the wiki , I really hope you get far with this :D.

Not easily.  RTAI_DO_TRAP is itself a macro, so v, r, a1, and a2 may 
have different types in different portions of the code.  The easiest 
thing may be to get your hands on a C preprocessor and run it on the 
full source, then translate each __asm__ block by hand.

It's a bit hard to see what that macro is doing. But I suspect it can be 
done with a template:

template RTAI_DO_TRAP(int v)
{
    RTAI_DO_TRAP()
    {
        asm
       {
           int v;
       }
    }
}

void main()
{
    RTAI_DO_TRAP!(23)();
}

Oh, please; can you explain what is going on there. 
Why don't you need the other three parameters?
What sense makes a asm statement with a "int 23;"?
Why do I need a template?

Ok, int not for integer <-> interrupt

The compiler figures out for itself which registers are read and written to.

That's what the RTAI macro does with its argument, too.

The int instruction takes a literal operand, not a variable, so this is the 
only way to parameterize it.

GCC uses a compiler-specific asm syntax.  I suggest reading the GCC docs 
to make sense of it.  Though perhaps someone else on this list has 
written inline ASM with GCC.

Perhaps there is a better syntax for getting the address of retval?

const uint RTAI_SYS_VECTOR = 0xf6;

long rtai_srq( int srq, uint args )
{       
  long retval;
  long* rptr = &retval;
  asm{
    // load registers with arguments
    mov srq,EAX;
    mov args,ECX;
    mov rptr,EDX;
    // initiate software interrupt
    int RTAI_SYS_VECTOR;
  }
  return retval;

Should be int retval, not long. Longs in D are 64 bits.


  long* rptr = &retval;
  asm{
    // load registers with arguments
    mov srq,EAX;


For this and the next two instructions, the operands are reversed, should 
be:
    mov EAX, srq ;


    mov args,ECX;
    mov rptr,EDX;


Can do it like:
    lea EDX, retval[EBP] ;


    // initiate software interrupt
    int RTAI_SYS_VECTOR;
  }
  return retval;
 }

There's possibly a number of things wrong here, so I'll try to get you 
started at least:

1) long in D is different than long in C. Did you intend to return a 64 bit 
value?

2) the mov statements are inverted. Intel asm places the destination on the 
left.

3) you can probably use a lea instruction to get the relevant address of 
retval.
