Unfortunately, GDB still doesn't work with it over here. Robert is going 
to try one of my test cases and see what he can see.

It seems changeset 451, your version of the fix, doesn't work... Despite 
me testing that it worked when you committed it :/ Reverting the change 
fixes the issue.

dwarf.c:1525: infobuf->write32(*++pparamidx);        // DW_AT_type

*++pparamidx is 0 (and always seems to be). GDB doesn't like DW_AT_type 
being 0, if it has no type there shouldn't be a DW_AT_type at all. This 
said, that code looks wrong, as *++pparamidx is always 0 according to 
gdb, which it shouldn't be. Replacing it with the old code:
  unsigned x = dwarf_typidx(p->Ptype);
  infobuf->write32(x);        // DW_AT_type
Seems to work most of the time, but breaks when faced with:

void function(void function(void function())) foobar;

And other cases. Simplest solution seems to be to revert the change, but 
it's up to you what you do... As long as it's fixed I don't care how 
it's done :)

2.044 seems to work after some tests of mine.


Many small improvements to error diagnostics and recovery<


I'd like to see few examples of the difference.



Now all unittests are run, even if some fail<


I have tried to compile this with -unittest :

int sqr(int x) { return x * 2; }
unittest {
    assert(sqr(10) == 100);
}
unittest {
    assert(sqr(5) == 25);
}
void main() {}


It contains two wrong unit tests, but dmd prints just about the first one,
maybe I am missing something:
test(3): unittest failure
core.exception.AssertError test(3): unittest failure

Any idea why the new dmd2 would print
2:
to the console when compiling? My big website project for a client
does that for most of the executables created, and when I made a typo
in one of the functions, dmd went into an endless loop :S

I haven't narrowed it down to something I can post yet. It might be
related to the fact that I'm passing about a dozen files to the dmd
command line all at once; I don't know. And I've gotta get back to
work finishing this site, so I don't know when I'll have the time to
track it down. I'll just stick to the last version for now.

I've had the infinite loop thing, too. As well as the '2:' to ouput.

This is getting interesting, after all these years denying the need for
a (public) beta release, you are now asking people to join the beta ML =D

Don't get me wrong, I'm very happy that you are. I just hope your barrier
to embrace a good idea is a little lower so it doesn't take that many
years to convince you =P

Great release. :)  The unittest feature is my favourite this time.

I see that the new std.complex has been included in this release, but 
also that mention of it was removed from the changelog.  It's a breaking 
change, so it should be listed.

Also, std.gregorian made it into this release, but is not mentioned in 
the changelog.
