I forgot to mention. It does pass the Phobos unittests, and the D1 test suite, except for the known problems mentioned.

Is there a status for the Mac OS X version?

It seems the following doesn't work yet? (First issue I hit while trying
to run tango unittests - it compiles fine with the exception of the
64bit vararg support for dmd which I'm working on).
test.d:
----
void foo(int, ...)
{
}
----
dmd -c -m64 test.d gives:

test.d(1): Error: '__va_argsave_t' is not defined, perhaps you need to
import std.c.stdarg; ?
test.d(1): Error: __va_argsave_t is used as a type
test.d(1): Error: variable test.foo.__va_argsave voids have no value

Not until the linux one is solid.

This was the work around I used, is it really needed though? Works fine without the import for x86-32.

I haven't tested with d1, but I don't recall seeing any changes to the alignment code to correct the issues that test23.d's test22 exposed.  64bit c sizes Bar22 at 8 bytes, d2 at 16.

I wouldn't call it a workaround. I could make dmd work without it, but it seems pointless. If you're going to actually reference any of those variadic args, you'll need to import std.c.stdarg anyway.

I'll check it in. I would have earlier, except that D2 fails its test suite now, even for 32 bits.

Aside: why aren't the windows dll tests in the checked in test suite? Naturally, they all fail now.
