structs now have typeinfo! Great!
My question: the typeinfo for a struct is in the form module_name.struct_name, while the other typeinfos and classinfos are withouth the module name. Will it remain that way? I mean, because it seems inconsistent.

Hehe, did my thread have something to do with that?  ;)

Sweet Jesus, structs can be sorted!  :D

Walter: With this build I decided to recheck on some of my MIID (Most important issues for D) which was a thread you started back on 11.Sep.04 before dmd v0.102 was released, I was glad to see that "functions with char[], wchar[], dchar[] parameters are now calling the right matching function" (example test2() below). I guess that must have happen in the dmd v0.105 release where the changelog states: "Changed integral literal type determination to match C99 6.4.4.1." But thus far, the "String Concatenation with String Literals" using wchar[]s and dchar[]s (example test1() below) are still a problem...will this be corrected any time soon? Hope you don't mind me asking?

Thanks for your reply in advance! :)

The typeinfo for classes should have the module name too.

I've known it should be fixed for a while. The original idea was that those properties were part of some pseudo "base" class that could be overridden. I just never found any reasonable justification for overriding the .sizeof.

No, I don't mind. I don't have a schedule for fixing it, there's a lot of issues that still need addressing.

That's great, but...

* the Phobos unittest still breaks (on Linux):
> Error: AssertError Failure format(734)

http://www.digitalmars.com/drn-bin/wwwnews?digitalmars.D.bugs/2500

* man pages are missing (in the RPM below, and also at
  http://www.algonet.se/~afb/d/d-manpages/d-manpages.zip

Expanded at: http://www.algonet.se/~afb/d/d-manpages/  (DMD + GDC)

* the makefiles needs patching for "make -j2" etc,
  the same problem as with DMD 0.109 and earlier

http://www.digitalmars.com/drn-bin/wwwnews?digitalmars.D.bugs/2519
http://www.digitalmars.com/drn-bin/wwwnews?digitalmars.D.bugs/2520



Updated source RPM can be found at the same location:
http://www.algonet.se/~afb/d/dmd-0.110-3.nosrc.rpm
> rpmbuild --with unittest --rebuild dmd-*-*.nosrc.rpm
Just the specfile: http://www.algonet.se/~afb/d/dmd.spec

Packaging Wishlist:
1) include the 3 man pages in distribution (e.g. from the zipfile above)
2) fix the Makefile problems above, and include a "make install" target
3) make a "dmd-0.###.tar.gz" Linux tarball, without Windows binaries

Future Hopes for DMD:
1) make the Phobos unittests run...
2) include an updated dmd.spec file
3) offer .i686 RPMS from D homepage

PS.
Seems to be working in 2005 too, despite the friendly warning:
"The Software was not designed to operate after Dec 31, 1999." :-)

This is a bug in glibc.

No offense, but the download is all of 2.8MB ;)  And the zip has linux binaries in it as well, but I'm not complaining.
