Morning, I will be dropping support for a few older gcc versions in the next week and a bit. I was thinking removing all code for everything up to gcc-4.5, meaning gdc will no longer build with gcc 4.2.x, 4.3.x and 4.4.x releases. If anyone has any objections, or requires continued support for these older versions of gcc, please let me know or shout up here, and I will make necessary arrangements. Regards Iain

That means no support for the Apple GCC. It's stuck at 4.2, I guess they putting their effort on Clang and LLVM. -- /Jacob Carlborg

The post 4.2 one is DragonEgg. It's a gcc plugin that replaces GCC's optimizers and code generators with those from llvm.

If I recall correctly, there are GCC binding to LLVM, are there not? Apple has always been a bit of a difficult system for me as I don't have the OS to test on (actually, this is true for Windows too). =A0 =A0I have made a new branch in the repository that is at the moment current and will maintain support for the older releases. =A0If someone wishes to maintain it, I have no problem there.
Also, bare in mind I will be moving GDC fully across to trunk over the next two months, this is just a first of many stop-gaps that will need to be done to update the code and cipher off any compatibilty hacks in favour of adding in and utilising new GCC tree codes that may help improve code generation.

Yes, I know you can use the FSF GCC on Mac OS X. -- /Jacob Carlborg

It will be ready when it's ready. My target is give or take when the 4.8 development window opens, I'll submit everything for inclusion. By then I will have dropped all backwards compatibility and #ifdef'd code. --=20 Iain Buclaw *(p < e ? p++ : p) =3D (c & 0x0f) + '0';
