zcc-d

A D library for building C/C++ code using Zig as a cross-compilation toolchain, inspired by cc-rs and cargo-zigbuild.

Features

• Cross-compilation support via Zig's C/C++ compiler
• Target triple and CPU architecture configuration
• Automatic C++ mode detection based on file extensions
• Flag transformation and filtering
• Build output logging
• Exception handling for build failures

Requirements

• D compiler
• Zig compiler
• dub or redub package manager

Installation

dub add zcc

Usage

library

// Compile C/C++ code
auto b = new Builder();

// Use `zig cc` or `zig c++`
b.file("source.cpp")  // Auto-detects C++ mode
 .setTargetTriple("aarch64-linux-gnu")
 .setCpu("generic")
 .addArg("-Wall")
 .execute();

// Build library
auto lb = new Builder();

// use `zig build-lib -lc` or `zig build-lib -lc++`
lb.files(["source.cpp", "resource.cc"])  // Auto-detects C++ mode
 .setTargetTriple("riscv64-linux-gnu")
 .setCpu("baseline")
 .addArg("-Wall")
 .buildLibrary("libname");
