I'd like to get the compiler name and version from within the D code automatically so my binary can output the following:

Built with COMPILER_NAME COMPILER_VERSION

It is possible?

You can also determine the compiler by a version.

Something like this:

version(DigitalMars) enum compiler = "DMD";
else version(LDC)    enum compiler = "LDC";
else version(GNU)    enum compiler = "GDC";
else enum compiler = "Unknown compiler";

enum buildInfo = "Built with "~compiler~" "~__VERSION__.stringof;

pragma(msg, buildInfo); // "Built with DMD 2099L"

With a bit more effort you could format the version nicely as "2.099".

Or just import std.compiler;
