D.gnu - Is there a GDC solution that can substitute rdmd ? Something like

Hi,

since D is now a GCC built-in D appears as a nice replacement for 
shell scripts.

I'm *not* looking for a dub solution as dub is something that 
needs to be installed.

A web search found a wrapper script for GCC which imitates rdmd 
for C but something like that still isn't out of the box 
experience.

So, is there a GDC solution that can substitute rdmd ?

Something like:



int main()
{
//...
}

Shouldn't rdmd somehow work with other compilers as well? Maybe you'll 
also need gdmd though, so that rdmd calls gdmd which then calls gdc. But 



Neither gdmd nor rdmd are shipped with gdc though in most distributions, 
so none of these solutions are out-of-the-box. I think we need to make 
sure that gdmd gets cleaned up and packaged by all linux distributions. 
Iit will likely still be in a different package in most linux 
distributions though.

Hello,

On Gentoo, all of those are in the dlang overlay. But I was 
trying to avoid that.
I guess a --run option for gcc wouldn't be too bad, so this would 
be supported by all the languages gcc supports :)

anyways, thanks for your reply.
