Calypso: Direct and full interfacing to C++

[Kelly via Digitalmars-d-announce]

Alirighty, Calypso builds and runs on both Linux and Win64 with 
that last change from today in my fork. Now when I say 'runs' on 
Linux, I mean it runs properly and fully (compiling and running 
all examples from Feb 8th)...but when I say 'runs' on Win64, I 
should say 'runs as far as it can' because there is an internal 
LLVM assert with getVTableContext "Microsoft VTableContext not 
yet supported"  ....  UGH! :(

Well...that is a stopper on Win64, period. I imagine this will be 
addressed fairly quickly because LLVM is moving extremely fast on 
Win64...at least I hope that will be the case!!

So that leaves us with Calypso up to the last commit on February 
8th, LDC from yesterday (Feb 14th) and with LLVM-3.7/Clang using 
the revision hashes above.

I will make sure all this builds and works on OS X now...wish me 
luck :)

I will also try to pull in the latest Calypso commits from the 
last couple days, and merge it with LDC so that we are all up to 
date and synced with LDC from yesterday. Unfortunately we are 
stuck with bleeding edge on all this stuff, (even when LLVM-3.6 
stable comes out next week) because most of the Win64 code in 
LLVM and LDC has been added in just the last few weeks.

Anyways, hopefully you can just spend time on the internal 
Calypso stuff this way Elie, and not waste time poking around 
with the Win64 build right now.


Thanks,
Kelly
