You can already do that with GDC... but no one does.

Note the words "reference D compiler". :-)
And compiling GDC is far more involved than just running 'make'. The the process Walter uses to build DMD cannot possibly be as byzantine.

I eschew complex build processes. If it cannot be built with:
make
I rewrite it.

What licensing is an issue, I would probobly say, release the code that is yours and put in comments for what is removed. I bet you someone is willing to fill in the blanks.

Fortunately you don't have to build GDC yourself, in order to use it.

The only question being: "which dialect of make" ? :-P GCC uses autoconf/automake in order to be portable, which really just means there is an extra "configure" step before the "make" invocation. GDC's need to patch GCC is complex, but also automated. --anders 1. PREPARE: ./gcc/d/setup-gcc.sh && mkdir build 2. CONFIGURE: cd build && ../configure --enable-languages=d 3. BUILD: make bootstrap |
