digitalmars.D - dmd.conf no longer working?

reply Andrei Alexandrescu <SeeWebsiteForEmail erdani.org> writes:
Hi folks, I'm having trouble setting up dmd on a fresh system. The short 
of it is nothing in dmd.conf seems to be taken into account. 
Furthermore, sections such as [Environment] are rejected with the error 
message:

Error: Use 'NAME=value' syntax, not '[ENVIRONMENT]'

What happened?


Thanks,

Andrei

i believe that envs now should be:

or

[Environment64]

seems that OS X version is the one with old [Environment], so it 
fails.

Tried both of them, nothing works. Also, the preexisting dmd on ubuntu 
fails like this:

dmd: inifile.c:141: void writeToEnv(StringTable*, char*): Assertion `p' 
failed.

Could this be a problem with my environment?

hm. sorry, i forgot to mention that i'm using git HEAD. it seems 
to work ok in HEAD.

just checked 2.068.2, freshly downloaded, and it seems to work 
fine (at least 32-bit version). it looks like you have something 
weird with your system. maybe some environment var set to 
something strange?

There's no point in having different sections on OS X, because all 
libraries are universal.

OK, I think I figured the problem: Unicode!

I have the following repro with DMD64 D Compiler v2.068.2 on Ubuntu 15 
(the default installation). If there's no ~/dmd.conf, running 'dmd' 
alone displays the options.

If there's a zero byte dmd.conf, things still work.

If there's a dmd.conf in Unicode format (I suspect with the two 
signature bytes), dmd crashes with:

dmd: inifile.c:141: void writeToEnv(StringTable*, char*): Assertion `p' 
failed.

This was caused by the MonoDevelop editor, which saves files in the 
format. Emacs also happily loads these files and signals the format with 
a "U" in the status bar.

The BOM was such a stupid thing. UTF-8 should have never allowed 
a BOM and the byte order should have been defined for the other 
formats.

A couple of things:

* I recommend compiling with -v, it will output the path to dmd.conf

* It should be Environment32 and/or Environment64 for Linux. For OS X 
it's Environment. It should _not_ be ENVIRONMENT

* You might want to tell us on which platform and how you installed the 
compiler

You can also combine common options under [Environment] like
this:

[Environment]
DFLAGS=3D-I/opt/dmd-2.069/import -L--export-dynamic -defaultlib=3Dphobos2 -=
verrors=3D0
[Environment32]
DFLAGS=3D%DFLAGS% -L-L/opt/dmd-2.069/lib32 -L-rpath -L/opt/dmd-2.069/lib32
[Environment64]
DFLAGS=3D%DFLAGS% -L-L/opt/dmd-2.069/lib64 -L-rpath -L/opt/dmd-2.069/lib64
