!version(Windows) or version(!Windows)
would be nice. (#ifndef may have been ugly, but it was usefull)

It sure would, but it doesn't work in the current version.

It was discussed on the digitalmars.D forum, also with Walter:
http://www.digitalmars.com/drn-bin/wwwnews?digitalmars.D/11946

Hopefully it can be added with the other "Posix" fix... ?
Not version conditionals in general, just the ! reversing.

I don't think that it can be included in the "Posix" fix.

If you e.g. declare that "version(__SomeVersion)" will only be included if "SomeVersion" isn't defined that you could tinker with debcond.c:

    int VersionCondition::include()
    int DebugCondition::include()

Actually, I meant "along with the other fix" :-)

As in: hope that Walter adds both of these to D.

Yes, it requires a another code patch most likely...

The idea is that starting a version with a "!"
reverses the value of the check, like (!Windows)

here we go ;)

Supports
    version(! Windows)
    version(!123)
    debug(! Windows)
    debug(!123)

These certainly are all great ideas. Thomas has done quite a few diff's that could be useful.  I'm just wondering how they can be tested.  On gdc, I suppose this is possible because it can be readily rebuilt.

On dmd, it would be great if Walter would include the object files for the backend so that changes to the compiler can be linked up and tested. Perhaps that's not possible?  It was worth a try.  :-)

Later,

John

I prefer to install dmd to /opt/dmd, and then make symbolic links to the executables.

ln -s /opt/dmd/bin/dmd /usr/local/bin/dmd

the above can be done for each executable in dmd/bin.  For libphobos.a, I do

ln -s /opt/dmd/lib/libphobos.a /usr/lib/libphobos.a

(technically, it's probably more correct to install libphobos.a
in /usr/local/lib).

In both examples, everytime you update dmd, the links point to the most recent files installed.

The same can be done with /etc/dmd.conf:

ln -s /opt/dmd/bin/dmd.conf /etc/dmd.conf

Here you have to realize that everytime you update dmd, you'll probably overwirte your /opt/dmd/bin/dmd.conf file.  So you have to be careful not to do so.

GDC is also available for Windows (-> cygwin-1.5.12-1).
Guessing from the Russel's bug report(D.gnu 2004-12-0) they include an ancient
gdc-1f/1g(?) version.

You should be able to update, compile and test GDC on Windows too.
