D.gnu - MinGW Release. D2.058 x86-64 20120428

** Fixes, previous unresolved _Dmodule_ref **

Please post all issues in D.gnu or on GDC's site 
https://bitbucket.org/goshawk/gdc

Due to the use of a newer runtime than TDM64-GCC it is **recommended** 
to install a copy specifically for GDC.

Features
  **ALPHA** As in, D2.058 support is still new.
  * D2.058
  * Debug information available using gnu-debuglink.
  * Removed D1(Did anyone use this featuer?).
    * Due to current system breaking with repository changes and D1
      being discontinued at the end of the year.
  * binutils with TLS patches
  * mingw-w64-runtime with TLS and stdio fixes.
  * GCC 4.6.1 with TLS patches

Installation instructions:

1. Download and install TDM MinGW64
2. Extract the downloaded archive into the base of the newly installed 
TDM install.

If you've done this before, you can just do step 2.

MinGW64 installer
http://tdm-gcc.tdragon.net/

GDC binary
https://bitbucket.org/goshawk/gdc/downloads/gcc-4.6.1-tdm64-1-gdc-7e1a98da2769-20120428-D2.058.7z

Known issues:
  * May break TDM64 C++.
  * Field-less structs will throw a null this exception.  When formatted 
by std.format.  runnable/test23.d

Nice, it works so far :) And where as previous version promptly segfaulted on my regex benchmark this one goes through. And the compiled binary performance is not bad either: Small test - searching for all \S+ \S+ (rough "email") in 40Mb of man-like text. dmd: 5.48sec gdc: 3.30sec Cool, surely gone use it side by side with dmd.

It was sort of an intermittent release, to get it out and tested. To update the lib status, zlib is already part of libgphobos2.a. If you inspect the library you'll see it's object files. If you're having specific zlib errors, you should share them. sqlite.o is easy enough to build and can be put into libgphobos.a. Being public domain helps, I'll add it to the build process. Curl is the only tricky one. It actually has configuration options and probably dependencies. Is there a list of what features D requires curl to support?

SQLite comes as a single source file if I recall correctly, and could be added to the libphobos build folder under libphobos/sqlite. In future when (or if) shared libraries are supported, can remove the source file and have these as dependencies for building libphobos, which are linked in during compilation of libgphobos.so --=20 Iain Buclaw *(p < e ? p++ : p) =3D (c & 0x0f) + '0';

libsqlite is quite big, perhaps it would be better to have the script create a lib beside phobos instead of in it? DMD supplies this as a separate lib, although theirs is about 1/3rd the size of the one I built for some reason :/ Curl is the only tricky one. It actually has configuration options and
 probably dependencies.  Is there a list of what features D requires curl to

I suspect the doc may reveal which features are available: http://dlang.org/phobos/etc_c_curl.html (looks like it covers basically everything) Is there a standard set of features for some 'standard' binary distribution? Most linux '-dev' packages seem to include binary libs for easy access, there must be a standard used there... I had trouble building curl, but I will be using all 3 currently existing etc.c libs in my app.

 Here's how I built sqlite, in case I did something wrong:

 ar rs libsqlite.a sqlite3.o    -> sqlite.a
Actually, I just tried -m64 and the _Dmodule_ref errors were all gone... switched back to -m32 and they were back again... User error? What are they about?

Build order? binutils isn't smart(purposefully so?) when it comes to symbol resolution. The symbol must be declared after it is used. I would check the -v output and see where your library is in relation to the object file.

DMD/Windows uses minit for module initialization. GDC uses _Dmodule_ref. In the last release, they reorganized some module initialization code causing GDC/MinGW to not use define/use _Dmodule_ref initialization. Currently, there is an issue with multilib building on MinGW. I had to manually compile and extract libphobos for the release. It's possible I missed something.

In D2.058, the _Dmodule_ref code was moved to minfo.d. I didn't properly move the GNU specific stuff on the first build, problem didn't surface until I compiled it with MinGW. They reduced it to OSX, Posix for including _Dmodule_ref. Which is why linux didn't exhibit the same problems. I added it back but there's a chance the 32-bit library wasn't updated properly.

No problem, I only depend on x64 for the time being, so it's no problem to use that :)
