Thank you thank you thank you thank you :D

Our project finally compiles, links and runs! It turned out that my DDL 
port was just fine and we're finally able to make the switch to 1.013 :) 
The Optlink crash has disappeared as well :) Now I'll have to do a few 
tweaks to remove -d and -v1, but now that I know DMD generates valid 
code, it should be a breeze.

Tom, any way you could email me on that?  I'm starting to re-kindle DDL to get
it finalized for post 1.0 compatibility

 Issue #1147: Typo in phobos/std/file.d: 4069 should be 4096

 phobos/std/file.d line 1422:
     size_t BUFSIZ = 4069 * 16;




What about having some predefined suffix to represent common two's powers?

int x = 4_k; // == 4 * 1024   == 4_096
int y = 8_M; // == 8 * 1024_k == 8_388_608
int z = 2_G; // == 2 * 1024_M == 2_147_483_648

and obviously:

size_t BUFSIZ = 16 * 4_k;

This could prevent many typos.

Or how about just use CTFE with a power function? Let's put our new toys to use.

I guess it'll take a little longer to compile, but I think the extra time would
be
worth it to gain code clarity (and I think that clear code is less likely to
have
typos).

Why would 'k' be 1024 instead of the normal 1000?

As an aside, I like the syntax <number>_<type> as a syntax sugar for 
<type>(<number>), this allow easy to read computation with units:

nb_apple = 10_apple + 20_apple;

Are you sure you are using dmd 1.013?  Compiling std.format directly, 
with -unittest works just fine.


This example contains the same line, using AA literals, and compiles for me:
---
import std.stdio;

void main()
{
     char[5][int] aa = ([3:"hello", 4:"betty"]);
     writefln(aa);
}
---

Output:

[3:[h,e,l,l,o],4:[b,e,t,t,y]]

It probably means you're trying to compile with a new phobos and an 
older dmd, i.e. your dmd hasn't been updated.

Ah, I'm very sorry: I forgot to upgrade to the new rebuild!

I didn't see anything about AA literals in the changelog though - when

There was some code added in 1.012, some in 1.013 (some of us are sick 
enough to actually diff the source).  They're probably not announced yet 
because there are some basics missing, like allowing strings for keys.

I think it'd good to post about them anyway, though. .stringof was never
announced, yet it's been in the compilers for a while and even made it to the
spec.

Hehe, me too. I add each new DMD to a local SVN, so I can check the changes 
(with the changelog at hand, it's a very good way to learn compiler 
internals!) and it makes it easy to test code with older versions of DMD. 
Highly recommended!

It's also a good way to track changes needed for porting over to GDC...
I have a set of diffs going at http://gdcmac.sourceforge.net/diffs/,
that you can view if you don't feel like downloading/diffing yourself.
(divided into changes to front-end source "src" and to spec/docs "html")

Even better would be an official public DMD source code repository ?
Like the one GDC has: http://dgcc.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/dgcc/

It should say 1.013.

You either unzipped 1.013 to the wrong place or you have a different 
1.010 installed somewhere else that comes first on your path.

I've downloaded the latest from the ftp site and extracted it on my c:\ 
path and another path. It still says it's version 1.010. I also noticed 
that the dates of the files dmd and dmd.exe are dated 03/26/07 and 
03/25/07 respectively. I also removed my path reference to c:\dmd\bin 
and checked.

I've downloaded releases prior to 1.0 but this is the first time i've 
encountered this. What else could be wrong?

You should download the file with the explicit version number 
(dmd.1.013.zip) not dmd.zip. The latter has been put back to 1.010 due 
to problems with 1.011 & 1.012 (IIRC they were fixed in 1.013 though).

I think that dmd.zip == dmd.1.010.zip is not a mistake. the idea is that

I know it's deliberate.  I'm just saying it's not such a great idea 
because you end up not being sure which version(s) of DMD you have.  You 
have to unpack the zip and run dmd to actually see which you got. 
Hence, a lot like a box of chocolates.

That's not so useful either.  I've got a dmd_stable.zip sitting on my HD 
or file server that I downloaded a while ago.  I don't remember when. 
So is it the latest stable version or not?  The only way to know is to 
unzip it to a temp location, see what's inside.

Why not just make the link for dmd stable on the changelog directly 
point to dmd.1.010.zip, instead of a symlink to it?  Why deliberately 
throw away useful information?

I'm talking about a link on a web page.  If you're looking at the web 
page then presumably you are a human and not an automaton. :-)

The existence of a symlink is fine and dandy.  Just it shouldn't be main

Exactly.  The page now reads:

   Download latest stable (1.010) <a href="dmd.zip">D compiler<A> for 
Win32 and x86 linux

It should instead be:

A compromise:

dmd-stable.zip -> dmd.1.010.zip
dmd-stable.1.010.zip -> dmd.1.010.zip
dmd-unstable.zip or dmd.zip -> dmd.1.013.zip

The versions with numbers for humans, the other two for the automata.
Then the download/changelog web page could point to the latest file
(with version number) of both "branches". Symlinking doesn't cost anything.
