Glad to announce LDC 1.36.0. Major changes:

  • Based on D 2.106.1.
  • Support for LLVM 17; the prebuilt packages use v17.0.6.
  • New GDC-compatible CLI options -fno-{exceptions,moduleinfo,rtti} to selectively enable some -betterC effects.
  • Support for sample-based PGO via clang-compatible CLI option -fprofile-sample-use and ldc-profgen tool.

Full release log and downloads: https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/releases/tag/v1.36.0

Thanks to all contributors & sponsors!
