digitalmars.D - New features for digc?

Are there any features that people want?

Secondly, is there a Linux programmer willing to get it working there? 
I'm removing as many Windows dependencies as I can find already, but 
there's the question of what directories to use for various tasks and 
how to deal with ld for shared libraries.  It should just be an hour of 
work or so.

Whoops, also, regarding dfilter.  I know its strings handling was 
obsolete and there's the new package keyword.  Are there any other 
situations where it produced incorrect results?

Templates and mixins. What about recognizing version(...)? Would it be too much
to ask?

I think it would be safe to collapse version blocks and put a note in 
the documentation that compiling a library locks down its version and 
debug settings.  Okay, that's done.

How were templates and mixins failing, specifically?

Sorry, I must've been thinking of something else. They work ok.
I noticed something else, though: imports and module declarations are recognized
as variables. And sometimes some "__pad__" variables appear.

ack, we're talking about different programs.  I meant dstrip; the 
functionality which removes whitespace and function bodies from library 
source to get a pure ABI.

dfilter, which preprocessed code so that it could be handled by Doxygen, 
is obsolete since newer versions of Doxygen (1.3.6 and up) have support 
for D.  You probably are feeding Doxygen D code that has been partially 
converted to C by dfilter; remove the dfilter step and it should process 
better.

lol!
There was something with dstrip about placing newlines wrongly. Maybe you should
check the unDig forums at dsource. There was a conversation about dstrip a while
ago.

I'm gonna have to check that.

Is digc still linking against a default .rc file ?  That was causing some
problems when another .rc file was used for me.


Secondly, is there a Linux programmer willing to get it working there? 


I'd be willing too.  Whats the status on shared libs w/ respect to linux ?

It generates a .res file; I've added a command-line option to suppress 
doing so (-no-create-assembly-file).  Do you have any examples of .rc 
files which caused problems?
