I'm using sfml and I make a class to manager sprite and animation.
I want to control animation, time, effect... with miniD because I'm too lazy to create a complex binary format to do the same thing.

So, I want to give access to the sprite class to miniD, but I don't want to give access to the internal part of my class: like pointer or other private members.

If you're binding the class from D, this is exactly what the extra fields/bytes inside class instances are for. See the "newInstance" function in minid.interpreter http://svn.dsource.org/projects/minid/trunk/docs/minid.interpreter.html , as well as the page on making native classes: http://www.dsource.org/projects/minid/wiki/API2/Part5

If you're writing the class entirely in MiniD,.. there's not really any way to do it Wink

So. I can create a native class.
And I need to use newInstance with extraByte to hide my pointer from miniD side.

That means: I cannot instanciate the class from miniD with "new", isn't it?

No, you can; that's why class allocators exist. Smile

You can take a look at the source for the Vector class (/trunk/minid/vector.d) for an example of how to write a class that uses a custom allocator. The page I linked also talks about them.

Thanks,

I missed the "A First Attempt" section when I was reading the "Part5" article. What I want is writing here : allocator, checkIntParam...

I have a miniD class (with allocator and constructor) in a miniD module like this:
Code:
makeModule(t, "Engine", function uint( MDThread* t, size_t num_params)
{
  CreateClass(t, "Sprite", (CreateClass* c)
  {
    c.method("constructor", &constructor);
  });
  newFunction(t, &allocator, "Sprite.allocator");
  newGlobal(t, "Sprite");
  return 0;
});
importModuleNoNS(t, "Engine");


When I allocate it with
Code:
runString("local s = Engine.Sprite(...)");

I get the exception:
Code:
Engine.Sprite.allocator(native): newInstance - expected 'class' for base, not 'namespace'


I try several value for the 2nd parameter of newInstance, but I not sure what to do:
Code:
static size_t allocator(MDThread* t, size_t num_params)
{
  newInstance(t, 0, 0, Sprite.sizeof);
  ...

You're never setting the allocator function to the class, so the "Sprite" global variable is pointing at the allocator instead of at the class. You need to change it like so:

Code:
  CreateClass(t, "Sprite", (CreateClass* c)
  {
    c.method("constructor", &constructor);
  });
  newFunction(t, &allocator, "Sprite.allocator");
  setAllocator(t, -2); // <<<< this!
  newGlobal(t, "Sprite");


That should work. Smile
