Congratulations are in order for Iain Buclaw. His efforts have been rewarded in a big way. Last Friday, he got the greenlight to move forward with submitting his changes into GCC:

https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2018-10/msg01676.html

That's now a reality.

Hopefully around the time of DConf next year we'll see GDC included with the release of GCC 9. How cool is that?

Wow!

Congratulations to Iain Buclaw. We've been following his work since a talk in DConf a few years ago and this is such an exciting development.

Congratulations to the entire Dlang community as well!

Awesome!

What frontend version is this, out of curiosity?

2.076. Note that this is not the latest GDC version; GDC is up to date and follows DMD master. A newer frontend should get into GDC 10.

Congratulations!

Awesome news! I'm eager to add support for GDC in libraries.

Great work, Iain! Thanks for having such a long breath. I'm aware that this is not the end of your endeavour, so I wish you good luck on the way to your remaining milestones. It must feel great to have the road opened up to those!

Bastiaan.

Yep.

Worth noting that the code is based on the original C++ implementation (2.068), and had spent the better part of a year or so backporting bug fixes and features from the converted D sources.

If there's any regressions in 2.076 or earlier that got fixed in later versions, then they could be backported as well.

Iain.
