Hi everyone,

I want to participate to Symmetry Autumn of Code 2019 with the 
project DUB: D's package manager, DEP5 (build system support for 
C/C++). I have here [1] my project proposal, could you give me 
some opinions about it(if it's ok, what should be changed or 
added, maybe removed).
Before sending the application I would like to find somenone to 
be my mentor, so if there is someone who would be interested in 
being my mentor for this project, please let me know as soon as 
possible.

I would first work out some real-world mixed-compilation 
scenario's that you would want to write support for. In the very 
least that will give you (and others) a clear and understandable 
goal. Right now I have no idea what you intend to support and 
what not.

There have been countless post on the forum of compilation setups 
that dub doesn't support.

I think the most common one (for me) is having a C/C++ library 
that first needs to be compiled into a static library before 
compiling the D code.

A more advances use case for myself is a code generation scenario 
I often use. E.g. first compile one program (if modified), run it 
to generate code, then use that to compile another program. Here, 
either one could be in D or C/C++. (currently I have one in 
Typescript)

With those scenario's you can structurize your proposal a bit 
better. For instance you can describe a common scenario (the 
problem), then describe what you want to support (scope it) and 
finally describe the method or way your are going to implement it 
(while also looking at more advanced scenario's that you don't 
support right away, but can be implemented in the future). Right 
now it is in a very draft form and goes too much into dub's 
details.

Hope that helps.

Hi Ionuț,

I do not have much knowledge in this area.I just wonder whether 
adding the support
of passing a triple 
(https://github.com/dlang/dub/pull/1541#issuecomment-417252200) is
much related to your project and you might also need it, or maybe 
it is completely unrelated?

If it is related to your work you might consider also adding it 
to your project proposal.

Kind regards
André

Did you have a look at DEP5 [1]? It captures the coarse concept of the 
original vision for multi-language support.

Most likely, I won't be able to devote enough time to be a full mentor, 
but I can try to help "part-time", as time permits.
