It's now possible to use the beta on Travis-CI.

I hit the same breaking change in DWT. The implementation is a bit different there compared to Tango [1]. The implementation actually catches the SyncException and is supposed to interrupt the current thread. But “Compatibility.interrupt” is not implemented because the original author never figured out how to port that from Java [2].

If we really care about backward compatibility  we should add new methods that are nothrow and put the existing ones thought the deprecation path.

I see that this has already done [1] but existing methods were never deprecated [2].

Agreed. Martin, is there any impediment in doing this? -- Andrei

I don’t there is since it’s already been done, see one of my previous replies [1].

Hi,

I've tried the beta on Visual D, and it produces one error that reduces to

void main()
{
    auto sz = cast(long)null;
}

test.d(5): Error: e2ir: cannot cast null of type typeof(null) to type long

Any cast of null to an integer type seems to fail, but works in 2.066.

Is this a deliberate change?

Would it make sense to also push for inclusion of https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/phobos/pull/2794 ? It is a memory corruption bug that could have more effect on GC allocated memory now that type info might also be stored in the allocation.

I’m not sure if this is deliberate but I’m pretty sure that any error message that mentions a source file from the compiler (in this case “e2ir”) is a bug.

As far as I know, it's not intended change.
Please file it in bugzilla.
