digitalmars.D.ldc - LDC 1.1.0-beta6

Hey all,

on behalf of the LDC team I am proud to announce the new 
1.1.0-beta6 release!
It's based on the 2.071.2 frontend and standard library and 
supports LLVM 3.5 up to current trunk (4.0).

Beta 6 is what beta 4 should have been, but early testing 
revealed some issues (thanks for reporting!) before official 
announcements were made, so we're at beta 6 now and looking 
forward to a final release, depending on your feedback!

The highlights of this release are Link-Time Optimization, DLL 
exports on Windows and, as always, a multitude of bugfixes.

This time, we only provide binaries for Linux, OS X and Windows; 
the usual FreeBSD and Linux/ARM (armv7hf) ones are missing due to 
limited manpower.

Changelog and downloads: 
https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/releases/tag/v1.1.0-beta6

All binaries are built with LLVM 3.9.
* The Linux x86/x86_64 binaries are built on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and 
work on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (or later) without installing additional 
software.
* The OS X binaries are built on OS X 10.10 and require at least 
OS X 10.8.
* The Windows binaries are built on Windows 10 with Visual Studio 
2015 (update 3). They require a VS2015 or Visual C++ Build Tools 
installation for linking (and depend on the Visual C++ 2015 
runtime). The 64-bit package is a multilib one capable of 
targeting x86 via `-m32`.

Please be sure to report any bugs at 
https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/issues.

Thanks to everybody involved in making this happen!

Regards,
kinke

I have a problem when compiling a project that uses LuaD. I don't see any issues reported yet on LuaD's github so I'm not sure where the problem originates. Anyway I get this when linking: ../../../.dub/packages/luad-master/luad/.dub/build/library-release-linux.posix-x86_64-ldc_0-B1357DF9F0EC274CDA75A2B3B084BCDA/libl ad.a(luad.state.o): In function `_D4luad5state8LuaState8openLibsMFNeZv': ../../../.dub/packages/luad-master/luad/luad/state.d:(.text._D4luad5state8LuaState8openLibsMFNeZv[_D4luad5state8LuaState8o enLibsMFNeZv]+0xf): undefined reference to `luaL_openlibs' collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status Everything works fine with DMD though.

Looks as if the Lua C library isn't passed to the linker. Please check the command lines to figure out where the difference comes from and then raise an issue.

Ok, for some reason dmd worked just fine without having liblua5.1 in my dub.sdl and has for months. Anyway, fixed now though. Thanks.

That's because of this line in LuaD's dub.json: "libs-windows-x86_64-dmd": ["lua5.1"],

yeah, I saw that but I'm on Linux. Anyway all is good. Thanks.

So if the following lines in dub.json ``` "sourceFiles-linux-x86": ["extlib/x86_32-linux-gnu/liblua.a"], "sourceFiles-linux-x86_64": ["extlib/x86_64-linux-gnu/liblua.a"], ``` don't work with LDC but do with DMD, please file a DUB issue about it, in order to save others from this annoyance.

I've started testing this release, but it would be easier if it was available on Travis CI. Have I missed something? I've tried "ldc-1.1.0-b6"

Found it, the right name is "ldc-1.1.0-beta6"

I spent some time catching up on D and tried this 1.1.0-beta6 version on Rasperry Pi 3 with LLVM 3.9.1. The dmd-testsuite is getting Bus Errors in 4 tests. I haven't dug in to investigate yet. Anybody know the last tagged version that passed dmd-testsuite on ARMv7? -- Dan

The dmd tests ran fine for me natively on Android/ARM as of ed22ff1 from master, dunno about tagged versions. Could it be specific to armhf?

I tried making ed22ff1 and make errors out when linking ldc. Some duplicate druntime symbols. So going backwards... Built 1.1.0-beta3 and that is golden with dmd-testsuite except for lit tests which I don't think have ever been made ARM-ready. I guess next is finding the commit that introduced Bus Errors sometime after beta3 before tackling the linker problem. gdb shows all cases happen in code generated for synchronized blocks, something messed up in D_CRITICAL_SECTION, probably the pthread_mutex_t.

Introduced in commit 8d06f23 "Allow align(1) for global variables". I'll have to study it, but my guess is that there was an existing alignment problem and this commit just revealed it. Added https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/issues/1955
