Hello!

The super guide "D Specification" is not so super sometimes...

So, someone has worked with C code in D? 

i haved coded a little example to try this feature.


Simple c file with one fuction:
// test.c
#include "htest.h"

void printFromC(){
  printf("Hello World (printed from C)");
}

his header file:
// htest.h
void printFromC();

header file converted in d:
/* Converted to D from htest.h by htod */
// htest.d
module htest;
//#include <iostream>

//C     void printFromC();
extern (C):
void  printFromC(void);

d main file:
// main.d
import htest;
int main(char[][] args){
		printFromC();
}

I have no idea if i've coded correctly, and how copile/link...?????

Someone can help me?

Tks! :-P

That will make everything following "extern(C)" until you declare otherwise.  I
think all you really wanted was:

extern(C) void printFromC(void);

 void  printFromC(void);
 
 d main file:
 // main.d
 import htest;
 int main(char[][] args){
 		printFromC();
 }

So you're aware, the entirety of the c standard library is available by
implementing this; all they did was extern(C): and list off all the C
functions.  Don't take my word for it, look at:

*/dmd/src/phobos/std/c/

Note that I didn't actually look up this path, I'm at work, so that's just from
memory.

Best of luck.

If you're on windows, you have to compile the C file with dmc to get a 
file that you can link with dmd's output.  Like this:

dmc -c htest.c

And then compile the D file, and link them together to produce main.exe:

dmd main htest.o


Download (DMC) Digital Mars C compiler here:

On linux, you'd probably do the same thing, but use gcc instead of dmc.
