October 12, 2022 Does RedHat DTS have D frontend? | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
 | Long story short: I'm trying to add GDC and LDC into a set of available compilers in our company and a person who is able to do this said that since GDC sources require pre-existing D compiler, the only thing that would properly fit is having RedHat DTS with D front-end. So does RedHat DTS have D frontend? If yes then what version? | |||

 Posted in reply to Andrey Zherikov | You should confirm this, but the version of gcc I could find on Redhat's site lists it as gcc 4.8 which is more than 10 years old. So it won't have it. | |||

Yes. https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-10.2.0/gcc/Standards.html#D-language So you should be good to go, as long as you don't mind lagging behind latest version. > May be correct question to ask is: what the earliest version of GCC does contain D front-end? I checked the docs via the above, its 9. | |||

I'm pretty sure it was still on the C++ frontend then.

The first version with D frontend is in the last version 12.2.

I would look for a gdc package. A lot of distros package it separately even if their gcc is built to enable the language. The gcc version doesn't necessarily tell you anything - my old raspbian setup has gdc6 in its package repo and my newer Slackware install has gdc 9.... gdc9 is when D was upstreamed into gcc's main source, but both the gdc6 and gdc9 are installed as separate OS packages, so that little fact doesn't mean much to the user. It looks like red hat's search needs an account*, but I'd suggest you just search for gdc in there and see if it comes up. https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/6864/how-to-search-for-official-rhel-packages | |||
