Using Meson for D projects is so wonderful. If SCons is to catch up a lot of work is needed, and I am increasingly worrying it isn't worth it. So much so that I am wondering if adding Dub package getting support to Meson should be a higher priority that finishing adding it to SCons. Of course this is only worth doing if Meson gets "all source at once" builds or all D compilers spontaneously fix all versions so that unit-threaded can work with "file at a time" builds. If the person running the D support for Meson is on this list please contact me privately to tell me what I can do to help progress that support further. --=20 Russel. =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:russel.winder ekiga.n= et 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: russel winder.org.uk London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder

In any case, it should be per package, per file is slower. Although I'm also thinking about a tool that only runs one file's unit tests with the minimal amount of building necessary. Atila

So is every second spent waiting for the build system to actually start compiling code." Which is in direct contradiction to what Walter has said... and yet Walter is suppose to be all about fast cars and hot women.
