Summary of Progress (November 25 – December 1)

This week, I worked on finalizing the global implementation of verrors=context in the DMD compiler by updating tests and resolving issues across platforms and adding a changelog for the PR.

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

What I Worked On

  • Regex-Based Test Updates:

    • Manually updated over 30 test files with regex-based outputs since they couldn’t be auto-updated.
    • Spent extra time fixing the regex for files like fail_compilation/malformed_cmain.d and ensured it worked correctly.
  • Other Updates:

    • Investigating a .sh file to decide if it needs fixing or can be excluded.
    • Added a changelog to the PR to document the updates made so far.

Next Steps

  • Finish fixing the remaining tests and try to complete the PR.
