When trying to compile something with GDC,
any errors encountered go to the stdout -
instead of the stderr like they should do.


This confuses the hell out of the assembler,
if trying to use the -pipe option to pass it
directly from the gdc frontend to as assembler.

# gdc -c typo.d
typo.d:2: no identifier for declarator typo
typo.d:2: semicolon expected, not 'EOF'

# gdc -c -pipe typo.d
{standard input}:0:End-of-File not at end of a line
{standard input}:1:Invalid mnemonic 'no'
{standard input}:1:End-of-File not at end of a line
{standard input}:unknown:Partial line at end of file ignored


They should go stderr, like they do with gcc:

# gcc -c typo.c
typo.c:1: error: parse error at end of input

# gcc -c -pipe typo.c
typo.c:1: error: parse error at end of input

This is a problem with DMD, not just GDC.  It's been addressed before and a fix provided

http://www.digitalmars.com/drn-bin/wwwnews?digitalmars.D.bugs/2001
http://www.digitalmars.com/drn-bin/wwwnews?digitalmars.D.bugs/3170

but AFAIK still waiting to be checked in.

But that was with uncaught exceptions, right ?
This was output from the GDC compiler itself...

But you are right, they should both go to stderr.
(both the uncaught Errors, and the compile errors)

This bug is still present in GDC 0.11 :-(

Unfortunately it pretty much rules out using
"-pipe", which otherwise gives a nice speedup.
