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
