 Posted: Wed Feb 06, 2008 4:50 pm Post subject: Request: Framework for Building Linux Kernel Modules with D |
 |
|
It would be great to use D to write loadable Linux kernel modules.
If D truly has a compatible object interface with C then this must be possible, right? ... especially with GDC since GCC is used to compile the Linux kernel.
Linux kernel module reliance on .h files in include/linux looks like a complication but seems convertible to D (if I understand enough about D).
A D project that created a framework for building loadable Linux kernel modules would provide another option for all the C programmers doing module development. It would also be a showcase for D to demonstrate C object compatibility.
Has anyone already demonstrated this capability? Is anyone [planning on] working on it? |

I don't know if anyone has tried to do specifically that yet, but I know that several people have tried writing kernels with D. Some of those projects are mentioned on this wiki page:
