Hi all,

After some weeks of work from last announce in this newsgroup we have nice news to share.

Few seconds ago, Michael has updated the trunk of the project with the
dmd 1.038... so... there are still few versions to merge to reach the
current 1.045 ;)
Please mind that these versions are not tested using dstress yet but
just compiling some small examples. We are planning to run dstress on
every new version as soon as we get free time to set up a gdc+dstress
build environment.

From the D2 version i used these weeks to understand how the 2.014 actually works and i'm over to merge 2.015 (it seems that i introduced a bug in parsing static ifs, it took 3 days to understand the problem). After 2.015 there will be a decision: continuing to merge step-by-step, with problems in how to add druntime (not present in 2.015) or to force to d 2.032 and merge all the necessary modifications made by David in 2.015. I should evaluate which one is simpler...

To see development going on just see this page http://bitbucket.org/goshawk/gdc/changesets/ and if you have a bitbucket account, consider to follow the project http://bitbucket.org/goshawk/gdc/follow/ .

For questions we are in #d.gdc on irc.freenode.net.

See you ;)

It's great that you have started to work on gdc.

gdc will support windows ?

I think it's too early to speak about a windows version, although a people in #d.gdc manifested interested, his nickname is eldar.

gdc on windows could run under mingw, but for mingw, gdc needs to support gcc 4.4.x (we are at 4.3.x now)

It's planned to support windows too, but we have to merge with lastest frontend first, update to 4.4.x and then we can start working to extend gdc to other platforms.

See you.
