digitalmars.D - Emitting C/C++ headers

- Manu (4/13) Feb 16 2020 Is available in releases? Should probably update the command line docs
- Manu (4/19) Feb 16 2020 2.90.1 doesn't accept -Hc

- Andre Pany (8/20) Feb 20 2020 What I do not understand, does this pr only takes care about C++
- MoonlightSentinel (12/16) Feb 20 2020 The generator currently creates C++ headers but maybe it could be
- Gregor =?UTF-8?B?TcO8Y2ts?= (11/17) Feb 19 2020 I would use that feature in a heartbeat. There is a lot of code
- Ahmet Sait (3/9) Feb 20 2020 It would be so much better if we could fix export attribute
- MoonlightSentinel (4/6) Feb 20 2020 Enhancing other aspects of C(++) interop is certainly beneficial.
- Manu (4/13) Feb 20 2020 Fix it in post. I have a bunch of PR's I want to make against this, so
Where are we at with this? There was a flurry of activity last year, but did anything make it across the line? Is it present in the current release? I can't see any mention in the compiler reference.

PS: Refer to the dshell test in my PR for a runnable example.

Is it present in the current release? I can't see any mention in the compiler reference.I would use that feature in a heartbeat. There is a lot of code that I would like to rather write in D for use in existing C++ codebases, but maintaining equivalent C++ interface headers is not my idea of fun, so I nix the idea again every time I think about it. I can't really take the top down approach where D provides the main program and calls into C++ libraries. So tools like dpp - despite being great little helpers - don't apply at all where it would matter most to me. So is there currently a block for the PR?
