gdmd name

I've been using the name gdmd for the gnu compiler but I'd like to see if there are any other suggestions. DLI was specific to linux, so that won't do. One reason I kept the "dmd" in the name was that the code uses the dmd source so it really is a gnu port of the dmd source. Anyhow, post if you have comments. -Ben

I don't think there's anything wrong with GDMD, but here's a few other ideas based on the naming of other GCC frontends: GDC - GNU D Compiler (from GPC - GNU Pascal Compiler) DGCC - D for GCC (from CGCC - Cobol for GCC and PL1GCC - PL1 for GCC) GD - GNU D (from GM2 - GNU Modula-2) GCD - GNU Compiler for D DCC - D Compiler Collection Probably the nomenclature most in-line with the UNIX tradition is GDC. Many UNIX systems define the system C compiler to be CC (C Compiler). Hence the system D compiler should be DC. GCC is the GNU C Compiler (Well, it was originally. It's now far more than that.) Hence the GNU version of DC should be GDC. Overall, I don't think it makes that much difference.

GCD is actually funny if you think of it. DCC is not really accurate (it's not really a D compiler collection). Just an opinion. Great work! John R.

what about g04 , like g77 ? hmm no that sucks actually. GDC gets my vote.

G77 is so named because it compiles Fortran-77. Please, let's not get into naming it like Windows versions!

In terms of aesthetics, I like GDMD and GDC the best, with GCD and ODC coming in second. But that's just me.
