Hi all,

due to the hard work of Alexey we could switch LDC master to DMD frontend version 2.066.1-rc2. If you built from LDC from GitHub then give it a try!

Regards,
Kai

Thanks guys.

VS2013 x64, LLVM head, LDC head, attached LDC patch => single compilation error in druntime (both in debug and release):

C:/LDC/ldc/runtime/druntime/src/gc/gc.d(2569): error : function core.thread.thread_processGCMarks (scope IsMarked del
egate(void* addr) isMarked) is not callable using argument types (int delegate(void* addr) nothrow)

IsMarkedDg is defined in core.thread:
alias int delegate( void* addr ) nothrow IsMarkedDg;

--------------------

LDC patch to work around minor issues:

The proper way to fix this is to pull the class out of the function instead.
Already created a bug report for MSVC.

Have updated https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/ldc-alpha to build from repo master to simplify testing for Arch users (works for me so far btw)

Hi Kai !
Is it possible that soon LDC will be based on DMD's head ?
For example i'm using DMD's head now because of bugs in the frontend, my code fails with 2.066.

Regards and thanks.

Hi Temtaine,

I started to merge 2.067 (branch merge-2.067) some time ago but it is yet not usable. I need to push out the release before I can continue working on the merge.

I really like to follow dmd development more closely - in most cases it is simply a matter of missing time....

Regards,
Kai
