Summary of Progress (December 2 – December 8)

This week, I worked on resolving platform-specific issues and finalizing the implementation of verrors=context, ensuring it works globally across all supported systems. I also addressed a buffer issue in the splitLines implementation and completed the pending work on the associated PR.

PR: feat(errors): make verrors=context global and update test outputs #17085

What I Worked On

Platform-Specific Issues Resolved:

• macOS: Resolved all macOS-based failed targets, ensuring platform compatibility.
• Windows: Worked on and fixed the remaining failed targets for Windows.

Buffer Issue in splitLines:

• Encountered a buffer-related unit test failure in compiler/src/dmd/root/string.
• Fixed the issue by validating indices properly and handling edge cases in the splitLines implementation.
• Changes are included in the same PR.

Finalizing the PR:

• Completed all pending tasks for the PR.
• Ensured that verrors=context now works globally, similar to other compilers.

Next Steps

• Address any feedback or suggestions provided for the PR.
• Work on any additional tasks that may arise during the review process.

With the PR completed, the compiler is now equipped to use verrors=context globally.
