digitalmars.D - Some questions

Hi everyone, I have some questions about D and phobos library.

Well first of all, what about the issue when compiling a D source in a .dll ?
Is it ok or there are still some problems ?


Secondly, I will have to communicate with the serial port "RS232" on Windows
but I don't find something allowing this in the phobos library. Maybe I didn't
check enough. So is there a way to communicate trough this or should I create
that library by myself ?

I have bought the TDPL and i like it. Good job Andrei.

I'm in the process of converting my Serial Comms code from D1/Tango to 
D2/Phobos but I came upon a shortcoming with std.concurrency and being able 
to spawn a thread in a class. I can publish the code when all is well :-)

It will be great and hopefull. Maybe it should become part of phobos if it's
good enough.

I personally think that all things like that should be in the standard library. 

I'll wait for that, thanks Mike :-)

D programs can be linked to C libraries, so you should be able to use any 
serial communication library you can use in C, you just need to convert the 
C header file to D declarations ( 
http://www.digitalmars.com/d/2.0/htomodule.html ). I've heard that 
Inpout32.dll can access the serial ports ( 
http://logix4u.net/Legacy_Ports/Parallel_Port/Inpout32.dll_for_Window
_98/2000/NT/XP.html )
