I am happy to announce that after a prolonged hiatus the Aurora DirectX bindings have been updated to support DirectX 12.1 and DirectX 11.4. The project has been refactored to more closely align with the DirectX SDK headers and the scope is significantly increased to include the D3D Video, D2D Effects, SVG, and Debugging libraries. And finally, the package has now been added to DUB. The following components of DirectX are supported: DirectX 12.1 - Shaders - Shader Tracing - Video - SDK Layers (Debugging) DirectX 11.4 - Shaders - Shader Tracing - Video - SDK Layers (Debugging) Direct2D 1.3 - Effects 1.2 - SVG DirectWrite 1.3 DXGI 1.6 WIC The work is a combination of mechanical and hand conversion and there may be some inconsistent or incorrect types in the interface. If you encounter any inconsistencies I would love you pull requests. Please note that most Macros are NOT ported yet. PR's welcome! These bindings are based on the Windows SDK version 10.0.16299.0 (Windows Build 1709 - Redstone 3) GitHub: https://github.com/auroragraphics/directx DUB: http://code.dlang.org/packages/aurora-directx -- Adam Wilson IRC: LightBender import quiet.dlang.dev;

The Aurora DirectX bindings have been updated to support Windows 10 1809. Also the D2D Effect Authoring SDK has been added.

Just need 9/10 (some are floating about) after these mature a bit.

First IIRC, the Win32 bindings in DRT is nowhere near a complete implementation of the Win32, I think it's primarily from user32.lib. Second, the DirectX bindings themselves are absolutely massive and the move pretty quickly (they change with every release of Windows, so every 6 months right now). Putting them in DRT would significantly slow down updates. For example, I had these updates released within two days of the release of 1809. Third, my implementation is not complete. There are a bunch of missing macros and helper functions that have not yet been ported. So for now I definitely think the package route is a better option. But if you do end up using these bindings on DCompute please let me know! I've made sure that all the Shader interfaces exist, but if you find anything missing I will gladly except PR's. -- Adam Wilson IRC: LightBender import quiet.dlang.dev;On Thursday, 4 October 2018 at 04:03:27 UTC, rikki cattermole wrote:Direct3D is part of the system API on Window's today, it is equivalent to using WinAPI for graphics.

It really depends on a) what happens at the LLVM Dev meeting in a week and a half and b) what Blizzard want out of it, both if it happens at all, and how much, if any (i.e. anything more than codegen), of the API will need to be usable from D.
