Glad to announce the first beta for the 2.107.0 release, ♥ to the 35 contributors.

This release comes with 9 major changes and 52 fixed Bugzilla issues, including:

  • Unrecognized pragmas are no longer an error, but instead simply ignored.
  • Added @core.attribute.standalone for shared static module constructors.
  • In D runtime, a new module core.stdc.stdatomic has been implemented.

A string literal as an assert condition is deprecated

Thanks as always.

Since 2023 was a year of language stabilization and bug fixes, it might be good for someone to do a blog post on what was accomplished. Even something short and simple would be good.

Also, I saw this in the change log and it might need to get revised:

"If you do not care about code generation quality should the aliases to the function names not exist, you may append _impl to get at the implementation."

Top-level win{32,64}.mak and legacy src/win{32,64}.mak files (for DigitalMars make) have been removed altogether. The generic top-level Makefile works on Windows too - with a GNU make (and a git installation providing bash and GNU tools).

Wow!

@standalone is a new attribute that can be used to mark module constructors that run after druntime has been initialized, but do not depend on any other module constructors being run before it, so it will not cause a cyclic dependency error.

Nice!!
