This is the closest thing I know of to an actual script, whilst not
strictly being complete or anything.

Thanks! BTW: What's the current status on GDC in terms of 
stability and DMD version? Is it at 2.065?

2.065 it is. I found it at

2.065 at the time of it's release, with all it's bugs and glory.
otherwise gdc is very stable; i'm using it as my primary compiler.

there was alot of changes in 2.066/2.067 and Iain is busy with other
things, so don't expect version upgrades soon. think about 3-4 month (at
least).

i ported some lib fixes from 2.066 (yet not much) and added no-op
' nogc' attribute (compiler accepts and ignores it) but have neither
time nor knowledge to do "real" port. so we all have to wait.

And many of the extreme changes don't actually add/remove/fix any bugs
in the compiler:

These alone will take about 8 weeks to deal with, partly because of my
limited time, partly because of the mundanity of doing the
conversions.

Doing these individual glue changes one at a time before 2.066-proper
seems like a reasonable thing to do rather than trying to do all at
once.  And any patches to do such conversions would be welcome.

i tried to port lexer from current 2.067 and it turns out to complete
mess and alot of changed files already. i'm scared.

i'll try to look at this changes and produce some patches. there is
nothing to lose in case of my failure anyway.

i'm keeping patches somewhat separated (but it's hard to separate 'em
properly). no tests done for now, it merely compiles without errors.

posting this just to let people know that i'm working on it, so they
can avoid double-work.

Thanks.

I also intend to use the conversions as an excuse to reform the code
into a more C++ coding style convention[1].  You can look at toir.cc
to get a general feel of this[2].

Other things it gives me the excuse to do is renaming the files
without the d- prefix.

d-elem.cc -> expr.cc
d-decls.cc -> decls.cc
d-ctype.cc -> ctype.cc
etc...

Adding namespaces to split each component of the sources is something
on my todo list too (moving away from the flat C function names).

You'll notice that most functions in toir.cc have an empty comment
above the function ('//') - this is because eventually it will be all
documented (good), if not documented during the conversion (better).

Just throwing mine into the game:
Attention: it really cleans up the git repositories (cloned from 
github) and you will LOOSE all other files that accidentally you 
might have placed in those gcc-git and gdc-git folders.



CRTDIR=`pwd`

cd ${GDC_GCCSRC}
git clean -fxd
git checkout .
git switch gcc-4_9-branch
git pull

cd ${GDC_GDCSRC}
git clean -fxd
git checkout .
git switch gdc-4.9
git pull

cd ${GDC_GDCSRC}
./setup-gcc.sh ${GDC_GCCSRC}
