D Bits- Setting Thread Affinity on Windows in D April 3, 2012When working with D's standard library, it is sometimes necessary to work around missing declarations in the core.sys.windows.windows module.

Attn: Derelict Users
Two items of interest to Derelict users: 1) If you updated from the trunk, or fetched Derelict through DSSS within the past 14 hours or so (it’s almost 7:30 am GMT as I type this) , you will have a … Continue reading
