D.gnu - GCC 4.0 released

reply Brad Beveridge <brad somewhere.net> writes:
Hello all (and especially David :)
now that GCC 4.0 has been released, should GDC start moving toward 
supporting it?  Please don't take this as an attempt to pester anyone, I 
know that time is a precious thing and I'm not asking anyone to go out 
of their way.
I am interested in tinkering with GDC + GCC4.0 myself, and I was 
wondering what might be involved with getting the D frontend working 
with GCC?  I know that one of the major issues is that code generation 
is now based from SSA trees, what are some of the other stumbling blocks?

Thanks
Brad

I think I have most of the changes required for 4.0 done, but have not tried to build it yet. There are probably a lot little things that need to be fixed. The only major problem I see now is that the tricks I used for inline assembly probably won't work anymore. David

Any chances to see your progress via some read-only access?
I'd be really interrested to take a look or 2. *g*
