Hi everyone,

LDC 0.16.0 alpha3, the LLVM-based D compiler, is available for 
download!
This release is based on the 2.067.1 frontend and standard 
library and supports LLVM 3.1-3.7 (OS X: no support for 3.3).

Don't miss to check if your preferred system is supported by this 
release. There is even an alpha-quality Win64 version available!

As usual, you can find links to the changelog and the binary 
packages over at digitalmars.D.ldc:

Regards,
Kai

Is there anyway to get dub to use this as a compiler so I can

Put the compiler in your PATH, and use the --compiler=ldc2 flag 
in DUB

My dub build is failing with LDC but working with DMD. All I get 
is this unhelpful error message

How does one debug dub builds?

dub build --compiler=ldc2 -v

will sometimes let you see more clearly when/where things went 
wrong.

Seems to be a segfault in LDC

$ dub build --force --compiler=ldc2 -v

So I manually copied the command from dub to see what went wrong
