DMD doesn't handle Solaris yet afaik, GDC calls it "solaris":

How is the distinction between GUI and console apps on Mac OS X handled, given
such incompatibilities between them as the line break style?

And what about whatever other 32+-bit platforms exist?  (Game consoles? 
iPhone?  ....)

I'm thinking now that the best solution may be to have an official list of
version identifiers for OSs maintained separately from the D1 and D2 specs, and
have those specs link to this list.  That way, once the D1 spec is finished,
this list can still be kept up to date with new OSs that may emerge, ready for
anyone wanting to write a D compiler therefor.

I'd rather see the spec fully contained within the spec, not having references
to external sites.  As further justification to my view, in addition to version
identifiers, the ABI part of the spec likely needs updates for new platforms
too.  Just because they're not implemented by DMD doesn't mean the spec
shouldn't contain those platforms.

So, for those that maintain compilers that support other platforms, can you
attach a diff for at least the version identifiers and file another bug report
to update the abi portion of the spec as well? :)

Thanks,
Brad

Well, obviously it wouldn't be an external site.  It would be a list somewhere
on the D website but separate from the core language spec.  Or maybe a page
that is in the spec but with an exemption made from freezing to allow for
additions of new platforms.

Yes, that's exactly why I proposed this.  The ABI page should be dealt with in
the same way as the predefined version page.

I suppose it's a matter of creating a "Platform specifics" section of the
specs.  This would cover not only the predefined versions and ABI, but also
such things as the inline assembler and possibly the current pages on Win32
specifics.

Ah, well, the freeze of the D1 spec has been pragmatic enough to support
updates like this anyway, so no need to worry terribly much about that.

I'll reach out on the digitalmars.D newsgroup to attempt to gather up the
current list to fold in so this bug can be closed out.

 does not mention how FreeBSD is handled, and does not point out
 any distinction between "linux" and "Posix".


Platform identifiers are provided for user code so that it can work
platform-dependent and it's up to user code to handle it in any way needed. For
example it's used in core.stdc.stdio to version out various declaration.
