http://home.earthlink.net/~dvdfrdmn/d/

Major Improvements:

* Updated to DMD 0.113
* Phobos is now built as target library (i.e., no need for a separate 
build step.)
* Boehm-gc is no longer used and the Java package is no longer required.
* Inline assembler for x86 (some limitations compared to DMD)
* Included Anders Björklund's patches to enable the use of frameworks on 
Darwin.

Tried the pre-release with my example large file. cc1d reports:

virtual memory exhausted: Cannot allocate memory

Even though I have ~350M phisical free memory as shown by top.  gdc fails after
about 250M allocation.

What's the flag I should pass to "configure" to build a debugging version of
gdc?  I can try to generate the stack trace of gdc itself when it fails.  Do you
think this will help?

A stack trace will definately be helpful.

Setting the CFLAGS environment variable to '-O0 -g' before running 
configure should work.  You could also uncomment 'D_CC_FLAGS += -O0 -g' 
in d/Make-lang.in.

This problem also doesn't work under gdc:

http://www.digitalmars.com/drn-bin/wwwnews?digitalmars.D/21401

Some info regarding my bug with large files: I have lot's of things like (T/A/B)
as described in the above.

Separate compilation always gives many errors like:

b.d:9: size of type T!(B) is not known
b.d:9: size of type T!(B) is not known

I'm not sure if this is a bug or feature? (both DMD and GDC behave the same.)

So I wrote a script to generate all of them into one big file, then DMD works.
But GDC fails with: "virtual memory exhausted: Cannot allocate memory".

By setting CFLAGS='-O0 -g', I was able to debug gdc, but I don't know where to
set breakpoint.

Detaching after fork from child process 20376.
virtual memory exhausted: Cannot allocate memory

Program exited with code 01.
(gdb)

Grep the error message doesn't give me much help, there are many occurance of
"virtual memory exhausted", but not occurance of "Cannot allocate memory".

Can you give me some hint here, where to set break point to catch the stack
trace?

Because this was a pre-release and there are still some outstanding 
issues, I didn't want to announce it just yet... But yes, you can at 
least build a cross compiler with a mingw32 target now.  I haven't tried 
a native build under MSYS/Cygwin.

BTW, this is the only cross target currently supported 'out of the box'.

I just wanted to say thank you for all the work that you have put in to GDC.

Thanks
