Awesome! Two things, though: 1. When will this actually happen? Is GCC 4.7 going to have GDC in it? 2. How will the impedance mismatch between DMD Front End's fast release cycle and GCC's slower release cycle be handled? I'm definitely not going to use the "official" version of GDC packaged with my Linux distro or MinGW or whatever when the front end is several versions out of date and each front end update contains major bug fixes and additions to Phobos.

Can't say. Hopefully things will be in before the 4.7 development window closes.2. How will the impedance mismatch between DMD Front End's fast release cycle and GCC's slower release cycle be handled? I'm definitely not going to use the "official" version of GDC packaged with my Linux distro or MinGW or whatever when the front end is several versions out of date and each front end update contains major bug fixes and additions to Phobos.
I would imagine that the official releases would be 1 frontend version behind DMD - given that there is a 2 month period of bug-fixes only before release. Whilst the development trunk/snapshots will remain in sync. Again, can't really say - it's too soon to be asking this. :~) Regards Iain

Even if this is an issue at first, I'd bet it will become less and less significant as DMD/Phobos improve and solidify.

Maybe if this was posted on Reddit it would get some vocal support and give the GNU guys reassurance that D is a sought-after language. Anyway this is great news! Congrats to Iain Buclaw and anyone else who helped.

Why not just write a redirect rule from the old D pages to the new ones? On Oct 4, 2011, at 11:55 PM, Jonathan M Davis wrote:On Wednesday, October 05, 2011 03:50:35 Iain Buclaw wrote:My worst kept secret is out. =20 http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=3Dnews_item&px=3DOTk2NA

Iain, You've made a cross for yourself there! If you need help with grunt tasks - like a broken piece of D code with a decent description of the problem, or even grunter, I might be able to help. As you know, I've been in those muddy waters before with nobody to even consult. With a guru like you I could probably get moving fairly quickly. Just as a matter of interest, how do you rate GDC 2.055 for speed alongside the Linux DMD. Steve

Of course it is way faster. You should compare with gcc instead.
Oct 06 2011
Are you saying that GDC is way faster? But I take your point. Steve

Yep. Especially for floating point calculations. Worst-case scenario for dmd: http://www.mail-archive.com/digitalmars-d puremagic.com/msg61860.html (be sure to read through the whole thread though, I refined my post later and then gdc and ldc were on par with C++ while dmd is still slower than javascript.)
