dpp VS www.ziglang.org

do you know dpp ? https://github.com/atilaneves/dpp

give https://github.com/atilaneves/dpp a try ... I made it work and I'm not very literate in C

Which is capable of directly linking + invoking most C++ things (except constructors/destructors, it can't handle those, you need a function which calls the constructor from within C++) just given a type definition.

Then you have "d++", which lets you "#include" C/C++ headers. Under the hood tries to run an automatic syntax conversion. It can't handle but for simple code it works and can spit out the equivalent D.

Also you've got "dstep", which is "A tool for converting C and Objective-C headers to D modules"

And finally you have the somewhat abandoned (but as far as I know mostly functional) Calypso, which is a fork of the LLVM-based D compiler that supports direct interop with C++. It's a pain to build though, haven't gotten around to trying to build it, but it does look wicked cool:

https://github.com/Syniurge/Calypso

    pragma (cppmap, "cppheader.h");  // tells Clang to parse cppheader.h but do not import anything

dpp* can't do function definitions yet but for declarations it's as easy as #including a C header file natively.

FWIW regarding the package manager, based on the rest of the text my guess is that whoever wrote this intended to say that "Zig will ship with a package manager".

I created https://github.com/ziglang/www.ziglang.org/pull/228 let's see if it gets accepted :)

It looks like the HTML for the website is here, which gets built from the source documentation here.

Sorry to pull the rug out from under ya'll like this but that article was a couple years old, so I gave it a once-over pass to update it. Mainly the "No hidden allocations" section is rewritten. You can see the full commit diff here: https://github.com/ziglang/www.ziglang.org/commit/bede1e57b6...
