I need to be able to get ldc 0.15.1 to compile with llvm 3.6.1 for homebrew. Are there some convenient commits I can use to patch it, or is it all a bit more complicated than that?

Also, what's the expected release for 0.15.2? If you expect it to be fully released very shortly, this wouldn't be worth doing and we'd just wait until then.

Hi John,

at least you need the patch from this pull request https://github.com/gentoo/dlang/pull/14 to compile(!) 0.15.1 with LLVM 3.6.
In order to get a working ldc you also need this commit: https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/commit/d1e764cec1788f4c3f3d09045b8adb8dc9c0d857.

You would touch more than 40 files with both patch sets. I think it is better to spent the effort to test 0.15.2-beta2.

(I try to release 0.15.2 soon.)

Regards,
Kai

Hmm, that doesn't seem ideal. I think we'll just have to distribute the beta as stable for a short while until 0.15.2 is released.
