Tags: dlang c binding interoperability header-parser developer-tools

Install: brew install dpp

About:
dpp is a command-line tool that enables seamless interoperability between D and C by translating C header files into D modules. It allows developers to directly include C headers in D source code, automatically generating the necessary D bindings at compile time. This eliminates the manual effort of writing and maintaining C bindings for D projects.

Key Features:

Automatic translation of C headers to D modules
Direct inclusion of C headers in D source code
Support for complex C constructs and macros
Compile-time integration for seamless workflow
Command-line tool for easy integration

Use Cases:

Using existing C libraries in D projects without manual binding
Creating D bindings for C APIs automatically
Interfacing with system libraries written in C
Migrating C projects to D incrementally

Alternatives:

bindbc – Manual binding generation vs dpp's automatic header translation
dstep – Similar header conversion but with different feature sets and approaches
