I've been using the name gdmd for the gnu compiler but I'd like to see if there are any other suggestions. DLI was specific to linux, so that won't do. One reason I kept the "dmd" in the name was that the code uses the dmd source so it really is a gnu port of the dmd source. Anyhow, post if you have comments. -Ben

I don't think there's anything wrong with GDMD, but here's a few other ideas based on the naming of other GCC frontends: GDC - GNU D Compiler (from GPC - GNU Pascal Compiler) DGCC - D for GCC (from CGCC - Cobol for GCC and PL1GCC - PL1 for GCC) GD - GNU D (from GM2 - GNU Modula-2) GCD - GNU Compiler for D DCC - D Compiler Collection Probably the nomenclature most in-line with the UNIX tradition is GDC. Many UNIX systems define the system C compiler to be CC (C Compiler). Hence the system D compiler should be DC. GCC is the GNU C Compiler (Well, it was originally. It's now far more than that.) Hence the GNU version of DC should be GDC. Overall, I don't think it makes that much difference.

I think DGCC is a good logical start. GCD is actually funny if you think of it. DCC is not really accurate (it's not really a D compiler collection). Just an opinion. Great work! John R.

That's a fair criticism.| New suggestion: | ODC - Open D Compiler I like the idea of breaking away from the "g". And how do I put something on the OpenD web site, anyway?
I don't know, but I'll throw out some guess... The request form may be helpful: http://www.opend.org/Request.html I think Jan Knepper created the site and I suspect it runs on his server. I don't think he follows the D or D.gnu groups usually, but he does follow the c++.windows.32-bits group. As you can see from visiting the site, Burton Radons is the main uploader (dli, dig, etc.). But he hasn't uploaded anything in a while. -- Justin http://jcc_7.tripod.com/d/

It seems like nobody is greatly moved by the new names, so I'd like to motion that it be left as GDMD, at least for now. I mean, it's a nice name that's easily differentiable from everything else and still is representative of what the program is.
