August 24, 2015 Sub forum for dmd implementation details | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
As a occasional contributor to dmd I usually manage to get everything working the way I want by digging through the dmd source code long enough, but sometimes bad / non-existing documentation and missing knowdelge result in suboptimal solutions or unsolved problems. I would greatly appreciate a subforum which purpose it is to discuss compiler implementation details. I know that there is dmd-internals, but it seems that this forum only gets spammed by some bot with pull-request messages. Kind Regards Benjamin Thaut |

Questions asked there do get answered. Most of the developers access it via a mailing list, and it's pretty easy to filter out the github messages from the real stuff.

I'm in the same boat. The Github events have a high noise-to-information ratio, and given that Github already has a way to subscribe to a repository's events, they seem redundant.
