https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15245 Issue ID: 15245 Summary: tools do not support --version flag properly Product: D Version: D2 Hardware: x86_64 OS: Linux Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P1 Component: tools Assignee: nobody puremagic.com Reporter: joseph.wakeling webdrake.net None of the D tools adequately supports the version flag: (1) rdmd supports the --version flag but gives only the day of build (e.g. 20151025) rather than the actual version tag; (2) catdoc, changed, dget, dustmite and tolf all exit with an uncaught exception; (3) ddmangle reports an unrecognized option and prints help. Since the tools repository is subject to similar version tagging to dmd, druntime and phobos, it would seem appropriate that the tools support a --version flag with similar output to dmd --version. --
