What makes a regression blocking? There are three open regressions in 2.072:

The changelog shows it can be used for an expression statement:

  // This is okay, the result is not used.
  if (!mc)
    mc = new MyContainerClass, mc.append(new Entry);

I've made a pull to improve the comma examples, e.g. adding brackets (mc = ...), mc.append and removing unnecessary statements:

Would be good if someone could review and merge.

DMD 2.072.0 miscompiles/uncovers a bug in LDC, so I switched back to DMD 2.071.2 for CI testing. :(

Is there somebody working on that bug? Thanks. -- Andrei

LDC built with DMD 2.072.0 gives the following error when run:
object.Error@src/rt/minfo.d(356): Cyclic dependency between module ddmd.traits and ddmd.cond
ddmd.traits* ->
ddmd.attrib ->
ddmd.cond* ->
ddmd.expression ->
ddmd.traits*

Pretty much all of LDC's D code is DDMD front-end code, master is at front-end version 2.071.2. I hope someone can try to build DMD 2.071.2 using 2.072.0 and see if a similar issue is found.

I confirm, dmd 2.072 can't build dmd 2.071.2, same error, but boot since master straping works there's probably something that's been fixed in one or two of these ddmd modules, likely a static ctor...

Maybe after this:

https://github.com/dlang/dmd/commit/1d0ab8b9c136e46bf449c506ca25d2c8a784f7b9#diff-b4674e7b5d3a44178526afdefc9aa368

ddmd.attribs was removed

https://github.com/dlang/dmd/commit/1d0ab8b9c136e46bf449c506ca25d2c8a784f7b9#diff-b4674e7b5d3a44178526afdefc9aa368L15

and it was also part of the cycle.

Thanks for the new release.

There is an issue with this Dub version, which is as far as I understand a bug.
While building/running a single source file project (dub information included in D source file) the artifacts are created in a temporary folder instead of the source file folder.
This makes the single file functionality in dub more or less not usable for me, as you cannot influence the behavior.

Temp-folder builds are only done if the special shebang invocation syntax is used (i.e. "dub file.d <program args"). Building with "dub --single file.d" should build normally. This was the case within the thread, too. Has anything changed since then?
