Oh, awesome. Congratulations and thanks. :-) Related note -- what are the recommended/required gcc sources to use? Is 4.9.0 adequate or does this update require the gcc trunk?

Bleeding edge, see gcc.version which has the snapshot version of gcc this was last tested and verified against. However if the last conversation I had with Johannes was of any indicator, if you hold onto your horses, you may find this backported to work on 4.9.x in the next weeks. :-)

Cool stuff! I'm champing at the bit to performance test a recent project of mine which uses some bleeding edge language features, so anything that gets me closer to being able to compile it with GDC is excellent news. My thanks to all involved!

No need to wait any longer, I already pushed the updated gdc-4.9 branch yesterday. Binary builds will be delayed until https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12900 is fixed. I'd also recommend to delay linux distribution package updates but I hope that bug will be fixed soon.

OK, fixes pushed to get dub and vibe working against gdc.... Any other high priority bugs that need fixing? :)

If anyone is privileged enough to have gdc with 2.065 already, then I'd like to suggest trying out dub and building all packages in http://code.dlang.org using it, using various different compiler flags, and report back any bugs found (with nice minimal cases I'd hope) Regards Iain

Just finished building about 10 minutes ago :-) I probably won't have free time to do the all-dub-packages test in the near future but can report that it plays fine with my 2.065-requiring libraries (hap.random and Dgraph), including working as dub dependencies. (I haven't actually built dub itself with gdc yet.) As usual speed seems on a par with LDC with the typical differences that GDC seems slightly ahead on raw number-crunching stuff and LDC seems ahead on template-heavy or range-based code (e.g. in hap.random, GDC optimizes the dice() function much better, but LDC seems ahead on the (Random)Sample class and on the range-based random distributions).
