I do believe I saw a new release mentioned in announcements. So 
this will be a priority to get done first and finished as soon as 
possible.

Once again, this is proving to be an [expletive] pain. I know Walter has been tying to help out with refactoring code, but it touches very sensitive areas that break easily. I have it in the works to replace these areas in gdc (see thread on removing toobj, typinf, and todt) - but it looks like things will be worse before they start improving again on this instance. -- Iain Buclaw *(p < e ? p++ : p) = (c & 0x0f) + '0';

Won't be better to merge rather smaller increments? For example, merging one commit (from dmd) at a time? That way, the gdc will follow the dmd commit by commit, and not only release by release. I hope this would bring easier merging, as less code changes are required. What do you think?

That's mid to long term goal (we currently do the same with gcc development, for instance). But not until have dropped the remainder dmd backend dependencies from the frontend. Regards -- Iain Buclaw *(p < e ? p++ : p) = (c & 0x0f) + '0';

OK, D Frontend is merged. Phobos and Druntime are yet to be updated, so subsequently it doesn't yet build the library yet. TODO: - Add compiler support for new cent/ucent types. - Test CTFE feature for doing reinterpret casts between int <-> float. Should work, but untested. - Phobos / D runtime merge, obviously... - Once above done, blast through re-implementation of toDt, toObjFile routines that removes all dependencies on DMD backend. - Breathe and sigh.
