Excellent! Now I can get to work getting Pyd working on Linux! -- Kirk McDonald Pyd: Wrapping Python with D http://pyd.dsource.org

Why did you have to wait for GDC to catch up in order to have Pyd for Linux? Does the DMD compiler for Linux not work? Supporting GDC is great anyway, I just don't understand why it would be a prerequisite for having Pyd on Linux. --bb

Pyd compiles DLL (well, .pyd) files on Windows and .so files on Linux. DMD is incapable of producing working .so files, at least so far as I can tell. -- Kirk McDonald Pyd: Wrapping Python with D http://pyd.dsource.org

Except for a small glitch with "BSD sed" vs. "GNU sed", (hardcoded -E parameter should be -r for GNU I think?) it built OK for MinGW/3.4.2 and Mac OS X 10.3/3.3.6... As usual, the installer packages are found at: http://gdcwin.sourceforge.net/ (MinGW / 3.4.2) http://gdcmac.sourceforge.net/ (Mac OS X 10.3) Use David's "official" tarball binaries for MinGW/GCC-3.4.5 or Mac OS X 10.4/GCC-4.0.1 ? (will be available as packages too, later on) --anders

It is 0.177 equivalent!!!11 YES! Thank you David!

I've updated the DStress pages for GDC-0.20 http://dstress.kuehne.cn/www/dstress.html http://dstress.kuehne.cn/www/gdc-0.20.html Something funny is going on with the assembler, especially the f* instructions. (Please ignore failing MMX & SSE tests for now, they are under heavy construction.)

Neither floating point nor MMX nor SSE instructions where the cause but the "cpuid" feature tests. I had to replace asm{ cpuid; } with asm{db 0x53; cpuid; db 0x5B;} Thomas -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iD8DBQFFj/XZLK5blCcjpWoRAlnMAJ9LwhWiZXx+0ex3tMPWhinKCL0wtQCfZhJ2 PrDwAkrWsHZIr1VMr/2p+Pc= =8+Vu -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Does GDC's asm not support a more clear asm {push EBX; cpuid; pop EBX; } ? Or for that matter, doesn't it know what registers are changed by instructions so it can save the ones it needs to preserve (DMD does that IIRC)? (Or if it isn't sure, doesn't it at least make sure they get pushed & popped as a precaution?)

It does, however if I compile with "-fPIC" GDC errors with: error: PIC register `ebx' clobbered in `asm'Or for that matter, doesn't it know what registers are changed by instructions so it can save the ones it needs to preserve (DMD does that IIRC)?

DMD preserves them via copying to the stack. GDC doesn't preserve them and apparently only knowns the clobbering rules for some instructions (e.g. pop EBX) but not others (e.g. push EBX).

I'm not sure which compiler is at 'fault' here, but having them behave differently with the same block of asm code on the same platform seems like a violation of the intent of having asm be part of the language spec. A bug needs to be filed against one of the two compilers. Later, Brad
