Rather amusing. :-)

*(p < e ? p++ : p) = (c & 0x0f) + '0';

This feature has been around for some time (somewhere in lexer.c iirc) - have you really only just added LDC into it David?

Great news!

How is it implemented? SEH? Did LLVM get any recent additions in this area?

Nice one!

There got to be size_t.sizeof printed somewhere ... :)

I took my mind a minute to process the point of that ("Is
__VENDOR__ a new thing? Is it something about nested exceptions? What's
with the version(Windows)...?")

...and then my thoughts jumped straight to: Holy shit!!

:)

Fantastic news!

It would be 4; MinGW for Win64 uses SEH, and LLVM still doesn't support that (although there is hope).

Don't get too excited. ;) There is still a lot to do, several test cases/unit tests still fail (mainly FP precision and ABI related).

But, yes, now there is a real chance of Windows being a "first-class target" for LDC in the near future.

I would very much appreciate any help on crushing the remaining bugs (it's not rocket science), see http://wiki.dlang.org/Building_LDC_on_MinGW_x86 for build instructions.

LLVM hasn't had support for Exceptions in Windows, Hence the begining

version (Windows) {} else static assert(false);
