Hi guys!
Here it is an example of calling FASM code from D.
I've created a simple hello world function in FASM and assembled as DLL.
Then I've created a D source file showing how to call this function.

I hope you like it and try the D language (it's really nice).
Now you see how to mix D and FASM, so no excuse to not use it!

Source codes and executables are in zip file.
Enjoy!

Step 1
Assembling:


Step 2
Compiling D code:
1) Get DMD at www.digitalmars.com
2) Install it following the site instructions
3) Compile like this:


Step 3
Run dpart.exe


PS: Soon, I'll add an example of static linking as soon as I find a way to deal with OMF object files.

You should try to convert OMF modules to MS COFF with the help of the MS linker :

so this is in fact example of calling DLL (written in FASM) from D?

Yes, but there are some tricks in the D code to make it possible to import the functions.

I had a glance at the language specification of D, and since then I recognized that it would be the best (available) HLL successor for the C language, as C#, java... are all to bloated for me and they force you to use OOP on everything.

1 concern I had in the D language was the garbage collection, but this seems quiet better implemented as in java and can also be switched off completely.

I was wondereing if there are yet SIMD-libraries (MMX,SSE...) for D yet, cause I like using them (for graphics for example). Anyway, those SIMD stuff can easily be written in fasm anyway.

btw, you don't have to create dll for using C-like functions(from C or fasm sources)!

extern (C) fasm_func(char val, char*vals, int num);

The problem is that fasm doesn't produce OMF. So we need to convert COFF->OMF in some way. Do you know any tool?
