Which frontend version (2.0xx) is GDC currently at?

And how soon can we expect more recent ones?

2.068 was the last C++ version then Iain backported changes to the C++
version get phobos 2.071.2 working. So it's effectively a C++ version of
2.071.2 or maybe slighly newer.

(The main reason for this backporting was to get a C++ version
which provides the same interface/headers as the current D frontend
version. This should allow for 'seamless' switching between the C++ and
D frontends)

Really?  Well, maintenance should be rather small now that the patch /
diff is relatively tiny for GDC.  Rebasing only against dmd/stable
branch on a weekly basis or so should help things along also.

As long as I've been following D, GDC has been behind DMD for 
several releases. I would figure you would want to broadcast a 
bit more widely that you're caught up. It's good news, no?

A lot of (most, even?) D users ignore GDC because it's been 
substantially behind the cutting edge for so long. Managing to 
catch up and become relevant to them is big news, if you want 
users.

To clarify: this includes Phobos, right?

I always assumed it was the license that put people off. ;-)

Phobos is 2.076 as-is.  The compiler supports enough of the
feature-set, bug and regression fixes to compile the library and pass
the testsuite.

The switch from C++ to D(DMD) is still in a PR:
https://github.com/D-Programming-GDC/GDC/pull/550

Nothing is really blocking it, but it will go in a separate branch to
start off with.

Iain.

Yes, the gdc downloads page hasn't been updated in 9 months:

By comparison, ldc is at the ddmd 2.074 frontend, which has been 
downloaded 7000 times in the last month since it was released:

Heh, I don't use GPL software if I can avoid it, so I'd never use 
gdc, even if it's a new release.  It's good that others are 
packaging up newer versions of gdc, but John and I are simply 
pointing out that the official releases page being behind hurts 
the perception of gdc.

I understand that you've been very busy with getting gdc into gcc 
and that there's not much manpower helping you out, but we're 
suggesting that you release a binary, even if just a beta like 
ldc does, and announce it to help change that perception.  Most 
people don't read the gdc forum, which is one of the reasons I've 
been posting on gdc progress here, even though I'd never use or 
contribute to it.

Regardless, there are D devs who'd like to use gdc, so I'm just 
trying to help you and them out.

Most people don't follow gdc development closely.  If you say 
that there's a newer version available and you'd like help 
packaging it, someone might step up.  After all, it's much easier 
to package the compiler than to keep it up to date, as you've 
been doing.

 I very much so agree. This is fantastic news!

 Are there any beta (alpha|beta|rc)-builds available for download?


No, but then again the poor little server is so constrained on
resources at the moment, I'll be wanting to move to a new provider
(replacing the single server with four) before such a thing happens.

I've had to add more swap because CI builds for mips, ppc and sparc
started failing due to hitting the oomkiller.

Donating for the upkeep of our infrastructure is also welcome. ;-)

Thanks, Ali.

I guess in this case people might want to send an email what it's 
for, although it becomes a nuisance if everyone attaches strings 
to everything.  It's very easy to set up a recurring donation btw.

This might be worthwhile. It is highly likely that when GDC is in 
GCC it will become the default D compiler in Red Hat Enterprise 
Linux (while real support in RHEL even maybe), other Linux 
distros like SUSE and even that we'll use it as the default D 
compiler in Debian, due to GCC being the default system compiler 
with strong optimizations and very good support for multiple 
architectures (not sure yet though, since LDC works well as well 
when it's not hit by the (suprisingly frequent) LLVM bugs).

So, in any case, GDC in GCC is *huge* and there is a high chance 
that people will come in contact with D through it first.
When it's in, I can try to get GDC a few more machines for CI (I 
can't promise anything at the moment, unfortunately).

 Congratulations to Iain and the gdc team. :)

 I found out because it's on the front page of HN right now, 
 where commenters are asking questions about D.

Cool, which version of GCC will have it?
