           Summary: cygwin/gdc compilation error for legal code (variadic
                    templates)
           Product: DGCC aka GDC
           Version: 0.23
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: glue layer
        AssignedTo: dvdfrdmn@users.sf.net
        ReportedBy: tortoise_74@yahoo.co.uk


The following code fails to compile under gdc on cygwin:
---
import std.stdio;

void myWritefln(T...)(T args)
{
     foreach(arg; args)
         writef("%s", arg);

     writefln();
}

void main() {
        myWritefln("Hi! ", 5, " that's all.");
}

F:\projects\Agenda>gdc --version
gdc (GCC) 3.4.4 (cygming special, gdc 0.23, using dmd 1.007))

F:\projects\Agenda>gdc test2.d
cc1d: warning: command line option "-iprefix" is valid for C/C++/ObjC/ObjC++
but
 not for D
test2.d:3: found '...' when expecting ')'
test2.d:3: semicolon expected following function declaration
test2.d:3: Declaration expected, not ')'
test2.d:5: no identifier for declarator args
test2.d:5: semicolon expected, not ')'
test2.d:5: Declaration expected, not ')'
test2.d:8: no identifier for declarator writefln
test2.d:9: unrecognized declaration

It works fine with dmd.

I am also informed it works with the following:
gdc (GCC) 4.1.1 20060524 (  (gdc 0.23, using
dmd 1.007))" (Linux x64 version):

I have the feeling that you're just using an old version of the compiler. Using the latest SVN revision (117) on Mac OS X, your example works fine. Try downloading some updated binaries or building GDC from source and see what happens.

This definitely works in gdc-win 0.24.
