Hi People,

I promised that newCTFE would be released in 2020 and so far it seems like I am going to make it!

The current and hopefully last big feature I am implementing is exception handling.

Recently I've had a breakthrough, because I realized that exception handling is very close to interrupts.
Since that realization progress is happing rapidly.

I hope to be able to present it at dconf 2020.

Cheers,

Stefan

!!!!!!

This is huge news!! I've been waiting for this for years.  Can't wait to write compute-heavy CTFE code and have newCTFE sick'em! :-D

I've been running into out-of-memory issues from compiling large projects lately.  Along with performance improvements, do you forsee this also helping memory usage?

Given the memory usage comes from ctfe yes.
Absolutely in exterme cases newCTFE uses about 50x less memory.

I think it will help somewhat, but it depends on your application. You can try the -lowmem switch which turns on the GC in the compiler. This should alleviate CTFE memory problems.

In my case (I've been running into this recently), I was running out of memory not from CTFE, but from template instantiations. Every little template allocates some space in the symbol table which never goes away. See my post here: https://forum.dlang.org/post/qrjls8$13je$1@digitalmars.com

Oh, and BTW, very much looking forward to newCTFE!
