digitalmars.D - D 2.00 official spec

Having trolled all over DM site in search for an official D 2.0 spec similar to
that as exists for D 1.0 (spec_DMD_1.00.pdf), I seem to be out of luck.

Does such a document exist and would someone please point me to it?

Thanks for all help.

D2 is still in development, therefore there is no spec yet.

Thanks for answer Jeremie.  Understood .. admittedly the D2 compiler download
does say alpha.  Is there any hint of a draft though or is it a fast moving
target?  Either way what's the best way to track where it's at?

The current specifications for D1 and D2 are on the Digital Mars
web-site. Use the side-bar to view the different sections.

http://www.digitalmars.com/d/1.0/lex.html

http://www.digitalmars.com/d/2.0/lex.html

The D1 specification is also subject to change as (slowly) more detail
is added and ambiguities are resolved.

Thanks .. missed the detail down the sidebar .. must have been my blurry vision
due to staring at Java for too long .. was thinking that getting into D might
be some relief for sore eyes .. read the 1.0 PDF spec last week and today went
looking (with a measure of excitement) for the 2.0 spec in PDF format to read
off-screen.

Now is this blurry vision to blame or a typo at line 23 into the first example
this page?

http://www.digitalmars.com/d/2.0/index.html

        // Improved typesafe printf
        writeln(cl.argnum, cl.suffix, " arg: ", cl.argv);
        // Automatic or explicit memory management
        delete cl;
    }

writeln should be writefln ?

Ditto on D1.0 intro page
http://www.digitalmars.com/d/1.0/index.html

As a newcomer, I didn't expect the compiler to bitch at sample code copied and
pasted from the première D example page :-(

./hello.d(23): Error: undefined identifier writeln
./hello.d(23): Error: function expected before (), not writeln of type int

Anyway, if it's not too late, me thinks I'd like to join the party.  You folks
sound welcoming enough. :-)

No, in Phobos 2 there's a function called writeln as well. It's like
writefln but doesn't do formatting.


 Ditto on D1.0 intro page
 http://www.digitalmars.com/d/1.0/index.html


Now that *is* a legitimate mistake. There's no writeln in Phobos 1,
and that should be writefln.

Justin

You will then need to select a framework to work with.  You can pick 
either Phobos  or Tango.  I suggest you read (including books) as much 
as possible before you make your choice.

The PDF is actually community provided so in a way it is actually less 
official than what is found on the website. It hasn't been updated to the 
latest release, for D1 this isn't a problem since the language isn't 
changing, but D2 would be troublesome if it existed.

Enjoy the language.
