v1.0.0
41aa66c

This is a new major version with a whole bunch of new features and bug fixes. The biggest features are support for translating some preprocessor directives like: #define for simple constants and function like macros. This release also adds support for a new platform, Windows.

Here's the full changelog:

New/Changed Features

  • Support for simple defines (like #define FOO 1)
  • Translation of defines to functions (like #define FOO(a, b) a + b)
  • Support for preprocessor token-pasting operator (##)
  • Support for translation of whole packages (--package CLI option)
  • Support for translation of preprocessor constants in array sizes
  • Support for global comments and comments inside structs and enums
  • Detecting collisions of renamed tag-space names (struct name_t ...) with existing ones
  • Special treatment of a comment before header guard
  • Support for removing excessive newlines and keeping original spacing
  • Basic unit tests were added
  • Cucumber tests were replaced with D-based tests
  • Statements are now translated in the original order as the input file
  • Multiple input files can be processed at once
  • Extend a functionality that automatically replaces aliases to basic types with their D equivalents
  • Add a switch --reduce-aliases which disables/enables the above functionality
  • Add a switch --alias-enum-members which enables generation of aliases for enum members in the global scope
  • Add a switch --translate-macros which can disable the translation of C macro definitions
  • Add the libclang bindings as a test case
  • Add support for Microsoft Windows
  • Run Windows tests on AppVeyor
  • Handle complex floating-point types.
  • Use the new alias syntax (alias Y = X) in the output
  • Support for custom global attributes (e.g. nothrow, @nogc)
  • Add support for building with LDC
  • Bump the minimum requirement D compilers to their latest version
  • Always test using the latest version of DMD and LDC, including beta and nightly builds
  • Bump the minimum requirement of libclang to 7.0.0
  • Automatically generate the libclang bindings using DStep
  • Add a switch --rename-enum-members, which enables stripping of superfluous prefixes from enum members.
  • Add a switch --normalize-modules, which enables changing the names of modules to the D conforming form.
  • Add support for bit fields.
