An alternative D standard library.
- Work without the C standard library and without druntime
Note: it should also work with the C standard library via a "version" switch
Note that this also implies it works without the GC.
- Work with "Better C"
- Expose both "platform-specific" and "platform-agnostic" apis.
- Levarage D's type systems to create APIs with strong safety guarantees.
An example of this is the SentinelPtr template that results in a pointer to an array that guarantees the array ends with a "sentinel value". The classic example of this is a "c string" which ends with a null character. By using SentinelPtr in an API, it documents this requirement and enforces it at compile time. This also facilitates better interoperation with C as it allows D to work with C strings making it unnecessary to marshal strings to temporary buffers every time they are passed to a C function.
Currently there's no build. If you want to use it, you can add the following arguments to your compiler command:
-I=<mar_repo>/src -i=mar
-I=<mar_repo/src: add mar to the include path-i=marcompile all imported modules from the mar package
This will cause the compiler to compile any modules from mar alongside your own application.
cd test
./go.d
Do not use the standard C library
Do not allow calls to exit. Reduces the number of ways the program can quit. Useful if program needs to clean up before exiting.
