Anyway, the first bug is already found: The README file is

Okay, great. Could you maybe make a pass over the release notes at some point too, particularly regarding your platform support work? I typed these up in a hurry while waiting for the builds to complete, so there might still be silly mistakes and major omissions. Thanks! David

Great! If you find any more floating point wrong-code issues, please add them to the issue tracker as almost all of them should be gone now.

Sorry, I think I never replied to this so far: I had a brief look at this, and it seems like this isn't really a single codegen bug, but rather LLVM being too smart for its own good and rearranging things so there is an awful lot of branch mispredictions in the inner loop. It would be nice if somebody else could have a look at this, though, as my copy of VTune is acting up=E2=80=A6 David

Forgot to mention: For the MinGW build, you need a *recent* version of mingw-w64 with DWARF2 exception handling, for example this one (newer ones should work as well): http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/Toolchains%20targetting%20Win32/Personal%20Builds/rubenvb/gcc-4.8-dw2-release/i686-w64-mingw32-gcc-dw2-4.8.0-win32_rubenvb.7z/download mingw.org MinGW builds and older mingw-w64 releases will *not* work.

To improve development I ordered an IFC6410 (http://www.inforcecomputing.com/product/moreinfo/ifc6410.html): 4 ARM cores 1.7 GHz, 2GB RAM and SATA port. I hope I can really develop with this board (my NAS is really slow....) Kai

That seems like a nice system to work on indeed, and quite a bit more powerful than the ODROID-X I use (4 x 1.4 GHz Cortex-A9, 1 GB RAM). I think the SATA port will be particularly nice, as I/O performance tends to be the bottleneck on my board. But even given that, I tend to just compile everything on there, since it is fast enough that setting up a cross-compilation environment wasn't really worth the hassle so far. Flash wear is really noticeable when using SD cards or eMMC modules for development, so that's another plus point. Unfortunately, there weren't really any affordable boards with (e)SATA available at the time I bought mine. David

I'm on virtualbox debian x86, hosted by win7 64. I've compiled llvm and ldc, both from git-head, (llvm was compiled some days ago however), now I can build ArtemisD as a library successful but fail to build example with a link error. Then I want to use dub with ldc to see if I missed some compiler options, however, build dub from git-head also led to a link error.

It's all no ARM related, except that llvm built with ARM support.

Please either: * Upload an archive containing the source code including druntime/phobos OR * Update the ldc-developers forks of phobos/druntime, and create a tag/release matching the ldc tag/release. It would help me create gentoo ebuilds that pull everything from github. Thanks!

1. Gentoo overlay doesn't have an alpha ebuild. 2. Gentoo overlay ebuild looks like it installs some files directly instead of to the temporary image directory first and letting portage do the rest. Making matching tags/releases in the ldc phobos & druntime repos would make keeping gentoo overlay up-to-date easier. It would also remove the need to fetch the source code from a third party host.

Yes, that is right. But it has the 9999-ebuild which is currently the same as the 0.12 release. Nevertheless if you create an ebuild be sure to provide a pull request for it.

We use Git submodules for druntime, Phobos and dmd-testsuite. This means that they are tied into the main repository via a specific commit ID, so the v0.12.0-alpha1 tag in the LDC repository unambiguously identifies the druntime/Phobos versions to use. Not having to manually maintain the cross-dependencies between repositories, which is rather error-prone, is actually one of the few advantages of submodules. David

Ok, I've looked over some options an putting the SHA1's into the ebuild seems to be the best overall approach for testing builds. I looked into scripting fetching SHA1's and it's possible but it's not as tidy. Stable builds should have full source uploaded as is currently done. As for the issues I mentioned, it seems I was fooled by paths that are input as absolute paths but used as relative paths when it comes to installation. Nevertheless, I did "fix" the way bash-completion installation is handled. I'll send a pull request soon.

Why don't just use Git submodules as intended?

Full source releases will be provided for the actual release, I just missed that the new GitHub release feature with its shiny source download buttons again doesn't include submodules in the packages. David

I ran the windows version through a couple of small programms I have lying around and everything works fine so far. The only issue I've found is, that when using curl it will lead to a linker error because ldmd2 will not automatically link against libcurl. Also when passing -gs to ldmd2 it will cause the following error: ldc2.exe: Unknown command line argument '-disable-fp-elim'. Try: 'F:/ldc/bin/ldc2.exe -help' ldc2.exe: Did you mean '-disable-asserts'? Kind Regards Benjamin Thaut

Good to hear, thanks for testing.

Could you please post those two to the GitHub tracker? Thanks! David

 As discussed, here are the first alpha packages for the 0.12.0 release.
Okay, all the issues/regressions with a test case have been fixed in didn't make it in time, but hopefully we'll be able to tackle it before the final release). I had to make some rather big changes to the internals in order to fix some of the bugs, so we unfortunately have to expect new issues. Still, I hope that we can push out the release this weekend. Stay tuned for the announcement, including source/binary packages and the updated changelog, in a couple of hours. Cheers, David
