Shall this generated cuda_runtime_api.d be self-contained? or I need to find the .h which defined cudaError_t, and include those files in the D/step build?

[mw66]

btw, it's defined in another included file:

/usr/include/driver_types.h

typedef __device_builtin__ enum cudaError cudaError_t;

[mw66]

Found work-around: let dstep work on the cpp preprocessed output .i file:

$ gcc -E /usr/include/cuda_runtime_api.h > cuda_runtime_api.i
$ dstep ./cuda_runtime_api.i -o cuda_runtime_api.d

Maybe you can add this tip to the README to help other users?

Please include the input and the expected output.

Most generated D files will not be self contained if the header file is not. So yes, you need to find where the symbols are defined and generate D files for those as well and manually import the D files.

[jacob-carlborg]

At one point I would like to make DStep operate on a whole directory of header files. Then it can hopefully import the D files automatically.

It needs lots of related headers to be compiled, so that's why in the end, I choose to run dstep on the cpp output
