We are proud to introduce to you our new Creation. dmd0xf is a massive 
package containing all you need to code in D on Windows working out of 
the box. All you need to do is unpack this archive and add its bin to 
your PATH environment variable. Newest release contains:

     * dmd 1.025
     * dsss 0.75 , rebuild included; rebuild is suggested when working 
with Tango.
     * build v 3.04 - when you use build with this package, you must 
link dmd-tango-base.lib, for example build yourApp.d dmd-tango-base.lib
     * Tango 0.99.4 Frank release with Tangobos - Tangobos will let you 
use most of phobos in your tango projects
     * Tango backtrace hack for 0.99.4

dmd0xf is available from tango's website, as one of the community 
downloads ( 
http://www.dsource.org/projects/tango/wiki/CommunityDownloads ), and on 
our download site ( http://team0xf.com/index.php?n=Site.Download ). We 
will try to keep it up to date, working and stable.

This is also first time we present Tango backtrace hack, working like 
similar tool for phobos we were publishing for some time. I wrote also 
short article about using backtrace hack, you can find  it on my blog: 
http://petermodzelewski.blogspot.com/2008/01/development-in-d-with-use-of-backtrace.html
Phobos backtrace hack is available on 
http://team0xf.com/index.php?n=Site.Download

Thanks for your time. We will be thankful for any feedback.

Did you get permission from Walter to distribute this? AFAIK only the 
Tango team has permission to redistribute DMD.
(The "tango community download" link also points to the team0xf site, so 
even that one is in violation of copyright unless you guys have 
permission; I don't know the exact nature of Walter's permission for 
Tango so I don't know if this would be allowed if it was on their site)

I was also wondering about this.  It seems that there would have to be 
explicit permission since the dmd packaged download is not on dsource. 
The original permission for Tango/dmd download was specific to dsource 
only and through the Tango webspace only (if I remember correctly).

Perhaps these guys got extra permission from Walter?  If so, it would be 
nice if they had made this information known in their announcement. :)

We were not aware about the problem with dmd redistribution. For now 
we've removed the link from the tango page. We are now waiting for a 
response from the tango team if they will support that package and host 
it on dsource.

By the way. Don't be afraid of the "hack" keyword. :) Both the Tango 
backtrace hack as well as the phobos backtrace hack are really little 
modifications of  those libraries, which have no influence on their 
runtime or performance. The modification is only to print a backtrace 
when the program crashes.

Could you provide only the "hack" while the license issue is worked out?

Thanks

For what it's worth, Tango has supported stack tracing via a plug-in for
quite a while now.  So I am wondering if this is mostly a matter of
visibility or convenience?  Either way, we'll look into addressing this
issue for the next release.

I tried the flectioned plugin before but at the time it didn't compile 
in the version of DMD I was using and didn't have time to checkout why 
so I just give up.

Having it in an integrated package certainly has it's advantages. Maybe 
it could be included in the next official release of Tango, now that 
Tangobos is included in this one.

Yeah it's been a while since I tried flectioned and I had to fix it a
bit to get it running with the current Tango.  I'll see if Thomas K.
will update the DSource version, but in the interim I've put my copy
here in case anyone wants to use it:

It's something we'll definitely re-examine.  We'd considered it before,
but flectioned is distributed under a different license than Tango,
coordinating releases may be an issue, etc.

As an alternative, what if DSSS could auto download and install
flectioned to get people automatically up and running with its stack
trace features?  It would mean writing an install script for DSSS that
modifies sc.ini/dmd.conf, but perhaps this would be worthwhile for some
people?

Hello. Unfortunately I must announce that dmd0xf is no more.
I'm still a student and was not aware, and not even caring, of all the 
law issues related with dmd0xf. We were not aware that it is necessity 
to have Walter Brights agreement to redistribute dmd. Therefore we must 
remove dmd0xf for now.

The good thing is that we introduced the backtrace problem again, and 
some people started to additionally look into it.

Anyway, sorry for all that. I hope no one was insulted by this attempt.

Piotr.

I thank you for the effort and certainly have to say that the backtrace 
hack is awesome.

Please don't drop the hack with dmd0xf. I would be delighted if it could 
be included in the distribution of Tango.

Thanks again.

Thanks a lot for your kind words. As dmd0xf is no more, you can find the 
patcher on our download page: http://team0xf.com/index.php?n=Site.Download

I was working on this for Flute last night and it might be sort of 
relevant. Basically, it uses the Windows debug info to look up the file 
and line information of the actual line that was being executed from the 
execution address. For long functions, this is often more valuable than 
just the name of the function. It'll take a little coercing to compile 
since it's been taken out of context, but may prove useful. Only for 
D1/Phobos/Windows, though porting to D2 or Tango will take very little 
effort.
