It makes me wonder how practical it would be to build upon their work to
extend the support for C++ D already has.

Ok, THIS is seriously cool, if I had this today for D it would make my life about 10 times simpler. Interoperation with D and .NET is currently only possible via either PInvoke (but no objects) or via COM which is clunky and not cross-platform. This would solve that. And like with this tool it could be done by feeding a tool the proper .DI files. Definitely something worthy of investigation. -- Adam Wilson Project Coordinator The Horizon Project http://www.thehorizonproject.org/

Seems no less cross platform than .Net: http://www.mono-project.com/Mono:Runtime#COM_and_XPCOM hmm... maybe I should be looking at making Juno work with Mono... Probably not too likely.

I like their approach. They're using gcc-xml to parse c++ files and
generate approtiated wrapper code. maybe we could write a similar tool
for d.

http://dsource.org/projects/bcd Project is Not up to date. AFAIK gcc-xml is a dead project. Thanks to David Nadlinger SWIG has now official D1 abd D2 Support. Since SWIG also supports a subset of C++ templates it is IMO the better choice. Bjoern
