digitalmars.D - DMD 1.039 slowness...

reply Bill Baxter <wbaxter gmail.com> writes:
DMD 1.038/1.039 slowness is still there in DMD 1.040.

A 1 minute build with 1.037 turns into
a >12 minute build with 1.040 (not sure how long exactly, I got bored
waiting to send this email)

Also this change:
* Separated bin and lib directories into windows, linux, and osx.

while probably for the better, is likely to break a lot of installers
and install instructions that people have written for DMD.

It broke the post-install scripts I always run after installing a new
DMD, and means I will need to update the path to DMD in various
places.

I don't know why that might be, so I need an example.

I know and I'm sorry about that, but I don't see a better way moving forward.

It's still chugging after more than an hour here, but mem use is steady at 143,828K. So it may just be caught in an infinite loop. I have a little more time now then when this first came up, so I'll see if I can come up with some kind of repro.

Maybe just put it in bold or something in the change log? Or put "WARNING:" in front of it? I saw it there, but it totally did not jump out at me as something meant my normal operating procedures would all be broken. --bb

Damnit. I gotta stop reading the internet. That should be "a little more time now *than* when this first came up". --bb

A smaller one would be much better.

Do you have a way to build dmd with debugging symbols that MSVC can read, and if so would it help to get a stack trace of the place where it's stuck? --bb

I emailed one to you. You can use windbg.exe on it (I do).

I think you should have left the bin and lib folders, and instead make the OS folders subfolders of bin and lib. It seems odd to me mixing OS-names with the other categories. L.

I like the layout, makes it easier to know and delete what you don't need on your system.

Three downloads ? Or maybe 4, if one just wants the frontend source... --anders
