I noticed that GDC in cvs has been updated to D 2.014

But unfortunately D 2.014 has a bug that I cannot use it:

http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=2154

Is there a plan for a new release? the last release 0.24 is about 1 year ago. Or anyone know how to update the latest front-end of GDC from DMD sources?

It would be also a good idea to incorporate gcc 4.2.x and 4.3.x patch that some people have posted here...

I have the impression that those patches are fragmented. Maybe someone could look them up/merge them and test them?

Not sure if it is a bug or not.
You are trying to access a non-static method. Try one of these solutions:

1) Make the method static:

class A {
  public static string toString() {
    return "";
  }
}

2) change your test code:

...
static if (is(typeof((new E()).toString()) : string)) {
...


Both work for me.

My intention is to test if a certain method/attribute exist for a particular class; not the actual method invocation on an real object (created statically).

Or this should be done in a different way in D?

BTW, my old code is accept by the latest DMD 2.017 compiler; however, even it generate binary, the behavior is hard to understand (see the attached file in):

Yes, you should do it differently.

I already answered.
