Is it safe to assume that __VERSION__ is the same among DMD, LDC and GDC when using the equivalent front-end? I want to implement @nogc in Derelict in a backward compatible way. The simple thing to do is (at the suggestion of w0rp):

static if( __VERSION__ < 2.066 ) enum nogc = 1;

I just want to verify that this is sufficient and that I don't need to test for version(DMD) and friends as well.

Right. An alternative solution is to use __traits(compiles) and use @nogc inside it.

Yes, but not all future compilers might implement this (although I hope they will). I think there's also __VENDOR__ IIRC.
