I'm going to let this one go in gdc.  The gdmd perl script that provides as a front-end / conversion between dmd-style options and gdc-style options is being moved into a separate repository.

https://github.com/D-Programming-GDC/GDMD

This is to allow anyone who wants to, to improve upon it, or re-write it in D.

If anyone wants to take over the job, please give me an email or bell.


Thanks
Iain.

Just for clarification, how's this going to integrate with GDC for build purposes?  Will it be excised from GDC completely and have to be installed separately?  Included via a submodule?  Or ... ?

Installed separately.

Sorry for late response, but -- what's the long-term goal?  Is it intended to be a short-term separation for hack/rewrite purposes with the new version being reintegrated with the rest of the GDC codebase, or a permanent division?

My impression from your earlier emails is that you're doing this because keeping this script in the main codebase causes an extra maintenance burden that is problematic.

Re-integration could be possible.  For now it will be kept separate for people who want some dmd imitation to interact with gdc.
