I bet it would be easier to write a code gen for such platforms than to wrassal generated C code and work around the endless problems.

Anyhow, one of the curious features of D is its ability to translate C code to D code. Curious as it was never intentionally designed, it was discovered by one of our users.

D has the ability to create a .di file from a .d file, which is analogous to writing a .h file from a .c file. When D gained the ability to compile C files, you just ask it to create a .di file, and voila! the C code translated to D!



Maybe, I don’t use those platforms and so I don’t know from experience, I just know that’s why people asked us in Rust.

I somehow missed that D has that! I try to read the forums now and again, but I should keep more active tabs on how stuff is going :)
