LDC 0.13.0 alpha 2 released! Please help test!

Hi everyone!

The second alpha release of LDC release 0.13.0 is here! It is based on the 2.064.2 front-end and LLVM 3.1-3.4 (OS X: LLVM 3.2/3.4 only).

Please refer to the GitHub release page for the preliminary change log and the
package download links:
https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/releases/tag/v0.13.0-alpha2

There was an overwhelming feedback on the first alpha release. I was able to integrate most of the suggestions made. But I also decided to postpone some of them to release 0.14.0:

- Add line numbers to the error messages produced by -nogc.
- Provide a binary which can compile for ARM targets. (This makes only sense if
issue #259 is solved. A pull request for 0.14.0 already exists.)

The rdmd tool is only included in the Debian package. I will integrate it soon, too.

Important: This is an alpha version and contains known bugs. Be sure to read the section "Known bugs (release blocker)" in the preliminary change log.

As always, the Win32/MinGW packages require a recent version of the mingw-w64 toolchain, see the (new) README file for details.

There is no Win64/MSVC package because I found a severe bug in the Win64/MSVC port. I hope to have this fixed for the beta1 release.

Please be sure to report any bugs at

at the digitalmars.D.ldc forums

Thanks to everybody involved in making this happen!

Regards,
Kai

It doesn't work on Debian wheezy. It is compiled on Ubuntu 12 TLS. It uses glibc-2.15. Regards, Kai

The code produce a compile error on Linux (around line 235 / 239) but compiles on mingw. And yes, it crashes then at runtime. Regards, Kai
