- David Nadlinger via digitalmars-d-ldc (9/13) Mar 25 2015 This would be true if the AST generated by the frontend was static.

Hi all! Yesterday, the new DMD release 2.067.0 was announced. I am glad to tell you that the merge-2.067 branch is now at the release level, too. Thanks to the help from kinke and smolt the compiler is already quite usable. Well, we still face some serious issues. the remaining test failures in the dmd testsuite! Regards, Kai

You should not expect a release very soon - there are still serious bugs to fix. But at least the merge is done. Even that took some time in the past. (I try to follow DMD more closely. I started the merge even before the first beta release.) Regards, Kai

Hi Kai ! I wonder why it's a problem to follow dmd's frontend. 90% of pulls is frontend bug fixes. I think there are no so much changes with interacting with backend ?

Some of the problematic frontend changes in fact fix a quirk that we needed to work around, some of them introduce new bugs that happen not to matter for the way the DMD glue layer uses the AST, and some just change the AST structure (e.g. by moving something out of the glue layer into the frontend or vice versa). — David

Hi again Kai ! I'm wondering if --disable-linker-strip-dead flag works because when i enable it link.exe produces many of errors like: phobos64.lib(bits.obj) : error LNK2005: _D11TypeInfo_Pv6__initZ already defined in main.obj phobos64.lib(demangle.obj) : error LNK2005: _D12TypeInfo_xAa6__initZ already defined in main.obj phobos64.lib(demangle.obj) : error LNK2005: _D11TypeInfo_xm6__initZ already defined in main.obj ...
