Glad to announce the second beta for LDC 1.13: * Based on D 2.083.0+ (yesterday's DMD stable). * The Windows packages are now fully self-sufficient, i.e., a Visual Studio/C++ Build Tools installation isn't required anymore. * Substantial debug info improvements. * New command-line option `-fvisibility=hidden` to hide functions/globals not marked as export, to reduce the size of shared libraries. Full release log and downloads: https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/releases/tag/v1.13.0-beta2 Thanks to all contributors!

Full release log and downloads: https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/releases/tag/v1.13.0-beta2 Thanks to all contributors!I've added native builds for Android, including Android/x86_64 for the first time. Several tests for std.variant segfault, likely because of the 128-bit real causing x64 codegen issues, but most everything else passes. This means that if you have an x86 or x64 Chromebook that supports running Android apps, you can install the Termux app and compile D code on there: https://nosarthur.github.io/coding/2018/01/15/termux.html

Teoh wrote:Btw, if you ever want to check the current status of the AArch64 port, all you have to do is look at the logs for the latest run of the ldc AArch64 CI, which kinke setup and is run for every ldc PR, on this dashboard: https://app.shippable.com/github/ldc-developers/ldc/dashboard Clicking on the last job on the master branch, expanding the build_ci output in the log, then doing the same for the stdlib tests, I see only five Phobos modules with failing tests. Three are mentioned in the tracker issue above, while std.complex has a single assert that trips, because it's a few bits off at 113-bit precision, which is still much more accurate than the 64-bit precision (or less) it's normally run at on x86/x64. Also, a single assert on std.algorithm.sorting trips for the same reason as a handful of tests in std.math: -real.nan at compile-time is output as real.nan by ldc running natively on AArch64, though not when cross-compiling. std.internal.math.gammafunction works fine at 64-bit precision on AArch64, but only a couple of the 100 or so constant reals it uses are at full 113-bit precision, so several tests assert that only allow a couple bits to be off from full real precision. Obviously that only matters if you need full 113-bit precision from that module. kinke recently disabled the tests for core.thread on the CI because they're super-flaky on linux/glibc/AArch64, while I haven't had that problem with Bionic/AArch64. You will see more tests failing if you cross-compile from x64, because of the mismatch between 64-bit precision for compile-time reals and 113-bit precision for runtime reals on AArch64. Also, you can see the 10-12 modules that assert in the dmd compiler testsuite earlier in that log, most because of missing core.stdc.stdarg.va_arg support to call C varargs on AArch64. That's about it: help is appreciated on tightening those last few screws.On Thu, Nov 22, 2018 at 01:25:53PM +0000, Joakim via Digitalmars-d-announce wrote:It's been mostly working since 1.11.

The one you are referring to seems abandonded (latest DMD is 2.080...); this one seems to have taken over and provides the latest beta: https://hub.docker.com/u/dlang2/
