Hi all, What is blocking the next (2.066-based) release? The current situation regarding template/cross-module inlining is rather unfortunate, but it shouldn't be worse than in the last release. In any case, I'm trying to come up with a design for this that actually works right now. Cheers, David

I'd say https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/issues/736 https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/issues/727 As they block even basic compilation of ldc on Win.

"Trass3r" <un known.com> If the issues resolved would it then make sense to create an official release for Win64? I currently don't know how many unit tests fail on Win64...Hi Kai, that's masked by EH: https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/issues/166#issuecomment-54522891 Some druntime and all phobos tests just crash. Then there's still the question of portable installation: https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/pull/723#issuecomment-57624085 And I forgot a small backport fix: https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/issues/728

Any chance of fixing EH? It shouldn't be much effort but I don't know what could be wrong resp. how you can "debug" the unwind data and procedure.

But as soon as this crucial point (EH) is reasonably working, we'll be able to work on the remaining MSVCRT x64 issues and hopefully promote that platform to a first D/LDC citizen. Can't wait to see that happen. :)

I haven't run the unit tests yet (I'd be grateful if somebody
could post the required command-line(s) - being able to run them
via msbuild would obviously be luxurious). Current LDC head and
LLVM head from yesterday can be built smoothly with MSVC 2013
x64, and a hello-world program can then be built successfully,
too - thanks guys.
But running
import std.stdio;
int main()
{
writeln("Exception support?");
try { throw new Exception("Exception support"); }
catch (Exception e) { writeln(e.msg); }
return 0;
}
yields an output such as:
Exception support?

So yes, something seems to be working. ;) I'll try to dig deeper
if I find the time.

Build with makefiles (hmm I've never tried ninja) and run make test resp. ctest -V -j <num> Note that the unwind tables are untested.

Build with makefiles (hmm I've never tried ninja) and run make test resp. ctest -V -j <num>Thanks man, I'm giving ninja a go (single .exe as github release, very handy), parallel compilation at last! :) Looks like "ninja test" is still gonna take a while though using debug ldc2.exe. I'll update the Wiki page about how to run the tests if it works.
Oct 12 2014
The tests don't run with ninja, they really need make. Do I really have to install MinGW MSYS or does anyone know a better alternative?

Only the dmd testsuite needs make.Thanks for the hint. I had to fix a linking error in core.stdc.fenv (the global _FE_DFL_ENV has been renamed to _Fenv0 in MSVCRT 2013+) and then get ahold of curl.lib & dll to get the test-runners to compile first. My results are 82 segfaults: druntime & druntime-debug): 5 segfaults: * core.math * core.thread * core.time * ldc.longdouble * rt.lifetime phobos: 34 segfaults phobos-debug: 38 segfaults So about 80% of the modules passed all their unit tests.

As such, I don't think it is relevant for the LDC release process. If you are fine with building LLVM from SVN, you won't have any issues with using LDC from Git either. Plus, you need to expect to run into problems with LLVM API changes all the time anyway. See e.g. the current status of LLVM 3.6 on Travis https://travis-ci.org/ldc-developers/ldc/jobs/37679457.https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/issues/727Waiting for a pull request. ;)As they block even basic compilation of ldc on Win.Win64/MSVC.

This seems to affect LLVM 3.6 only.Well you need the very latest version to get the EH fixes but yeah ;)
