Hi

I like reading the bugs list.

I see lots of patches (for example from Rainer Schuetze) but I don't see all of 
them applied (in the latest release).

How does that work?

Regards
Alex

While the source for DMD is available (and many parts open source), only 
very few people have the "keys to the kingdom" as it were. Practically this 
means that Walter screens all the patches as well as improves things so what 
your looking at is a bottle neck effect. And given that Walter is a bit
possessive 
about his code base (I'm not objecting mind you) it's not going to change 
any time soon.

Quite a few of the 68 patches are planned for inclusion into DMD, but 
the primary purpose of the last release was to fix the memory corruption 
issues, and Walter will be rather busy for the next week so we'll have 
to wait for their inclusion. Hopefully when he gets some time again 
he'll start filtering through the patches and commenting on 
them/applying them. I hinted that it might be a good idea to give 
someone else commit access on the beta mailing list, I never got a reply 
though, so I'm guessing BCS is right here :)

Has anyone tried to reveres engineer a coding standard from Walter's
comments/etc. 
on patches?

If we can talk him into committing between each patch he apples we could 
even diff patches (a diff of diffs, yuck) to see what he tweaks.

Nowdays this is mostly true, with few exceptions like the 4004, 4005, 4019,
4020, 4027, 4029 bunch, that was a pack of related changes.

Bye,

Thanks for the replies. On rereading my post it sounded it a bit trollish, but 
on reexamining my motives, maybe I meant to be :)
