You'll notice that most functions in toir.cc have an empty comment
above the function ('//') - this is because eventually it will be all
documented (good), if not documented during the conversion (better).

Just throwing mine into the game:
Attention: it really cleans up the git repositories (cloned from github) and you will LOOSE all other files that accidentally you might have placed in those gcc-git and gdc-git folders.

#!/bin/bash

CRTDIR=`pwd`

cd ${GDC_GCCSRC}
git clean -fxd
git checkout .
git switch gcc-4_9-branch
git pull

cd ${GDC_GDCSRC}
git clean -fxd
git checkout .
git switch gdc-4.9
git pull

cd ${GDC_GDCSRC}
./setup-gcc.sh ${GDC_GCCSRC}
mkdir -p ${GDC_OBJDIR}
cd ${GDC_OBJDIR}
rm -rf ./*
${GDC_GCCSRC}/configure --enable-languages=d --disable-bootstrap --enable-checking=release --prefix=/opt/gdc-4.9
make -j8
sudo make install
cd ${CRTDIR}
