I'm getting weird errors from the compiler about certain win32 types 
that I have to declare like:

alias void (* LPWSAOVERLAPPED_COMPLETION_ROUTINE)(in DWORD, in DWORD, in 
LPWSAOVERLAPPED, in DWORD);


Then import certain functions like:

extern(Windows)
{
int WSASend(SOCKET s,
	LPWSABUF,
	DWORD,
	LPDWORD,
	DWORD,
	LPWSAOVERLAPPED,
	LPWSAOVERLAPPED_COMPLETION_ROUTINE);
}

And the error happens here:

if (WSASend(client.socket, &buffer, 1, &sent, 0, &client.sendoverlapped, 
&sendCompletion) && WSAGetLastError() != WSA_IO_PENDING)



Errors:

function network.WSASend (uint,WSABUF *,uint,uint*,uint,WSAOVERLAPPED 
*,int(Windows *)(HANDLE,uint,uint,int)) does not match argument types 
(uint,WSABUF *,int,uint*,int,WSAOVERLAPPED *,void(Windows *)(uint 
dwError,uint cbTransferred,WSAOVERLAPPED *lpOverlapped,uint dwFlags))

cannot implicitly convert expression (#buffer) of type WSABUF * to WSABUF *


WSAOVERLAPPED * to WSAOVERLAPPED *

cannot implicitly convert expression (#SendCompletion) of type 
void(Windows *)(uint dwError,uint cbTransferred,WSAOVERLAPPED 
*lpOverlapped,uint dwFlags) to void(Windows *)(uint,uint,WSAOVERLAPPED 
*,uint)

You may want to check your source for multiple typedef's of `WSABUF'.

alias WSABUF* LPWSABUF;

I commented that out and changed all instances of LPWSABUF with WSABUF* 
and magically that error disappeared, but the other 3 remain.

These alias' are bad, mmmkay:
alias WSAOVERLAPPED* LPWSAOVERLAPPED;
alias WSABUF* LPWSABUF;
alias void (* LPWSAOVERLAPPED_COMPLETION_ROUTINE)(in DWORD, in DWORD, in 
LPWSAOVERLAPPED, in DWORD);

So why is DMD choking on those aliased types?

Are these incorrect?  Thanks :-B

But. Why do you use WSA... thing for sockets?
There is a solid socket (and socketstream) implementation in Phobos.

I agree.  I've written a few applications using the Phobos socket libraries and
they have worked perfectly.

In some ways, DMD is fairly simple minded. Your code fails because the
literal '1' is believed by DMD to be an 'int', but the type DWORD is a
'uint', so DMD complains. If you change the call literal to '1U' all will
be well again.  Why DMD can't work out that if the literal as an int
doesn't match, it can retry to match assuming that the literal is a uint, I
haven't got a clue.
