Oh, awesome.  Congratulations and thanks. :-)

Related note -- what are the recommended/required gcc sources to use?  Is 4.9.0 adequate or does this update require the gcc trunk?

Bleeding edge, see gcc.version which has the snapshot version of gcc this was last tested and verified against.

However if the last conversation I had with Johannes was of any indicator, if you hold onto your horses, you may find this backported to work on 4.9.x in the next weeks. :-)

Cool stuff! I'm champing at the bit to performance test a recent project of mine which uses some bleeding edge language features, so anything that gets me closer to being able to compile it with GDC is excellent news.

My thanks to all involved!

I have no horses to hold, but Johannes' work is always worth waiting for :-)

No need to wait any longer, I already pushed the updated gdc-4.9 branch yesterday.

Binary builds will be delayed until
https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12900
is fixed. I'd also recommend to delay linux distribution package
updates but I hope that bug will be fixed soon.
