Hi,

Could Mr Friedman tell us if he plan to work on GDC or if he has 
completely gave up the project.

Thanks

Time since last SVN commit: 80 days.
Longest previous timeout between SVN commits: 85 days.
Time from SVN commit to impatient users thinking "Mr. Friedman" gets 
paid to do this and as such should be conforming to their every whim 
substantially faster rather than having a life: Usually about 30 days.

If I am asking it's not to complain but because I may help him. If he 
needs money maybe I could do something but if he needs time cannot help.
I would like also to ask him why there are so many differences between 
original sources and the ones integrated into GCC.
Is it because of old gcc (4.0, 4.1) and could it be better with a recent 
GCC 4.3/4.4 ?

for instance if I take randomly a file, let's say aggregate.h

Original :
target_size_t structsize;	// size of struct

Modified for gdc:
unsigned structsize;	// size of struct


Wouldn't be easier to add some definitions in gcc and commit them into 
trunk ?
It would allow GDC to exist from GCC point of view and will simplify new 
release.

Help is always welcome. You can always submit patches for GDC. If Mr. 
Friedman does not answer to them, community will (post patches here as 
well).

Hi,

I think I have too much work to do with my own projects that it's for me 
impossible to help you with this task ...
