Hi,
I think we need to be clear on this: Does DMD support Solaris? I would expect GDC and LDC to support it, but it doesn't seem like there's any maintained support for it in DMD.

Not anymore - Solaris is a dead end operating system.

I think I'll submit some patches to remove Solaris code from DMD's druntime then. -- Alex Rønne Petersen alex@lycus.org http://lycus.org |

Solaris may be a dead end, but there are a few Solaris related OSs that
are alive and going strong.
Illumos comes to my mind.

It has been OpenSolaris, or latterly OpenIndiana that has been receiving most attention. -- Iain Buclaw *(p < e ? p++ : p) = (c & 0x0f) + '0'; |

Actually I did start one, several months ago, but did not do much more than change a few version() statements.

I bet they wish it were a dead operating system though :-)
