This seems to me to be a similar problem to that of Walter and Phobos - one developer can only focus on this many things. GDC is getting severly behind, and if I have understood correctly, the Debian GDC team has a large number of patches (also one for GCC 4.2) that has been largely ignored (they are at least not merged into GDC trunk). I have tried to get Tango working on various arches (all Linux), but GDC is seriously limited once you get past the runtime and onto more challenging D code. I am no compiler writer, but what I understand from the issues I have, is that for instance 64 bit is badly supported beyond X86_64 (there are many other 64 bit platforms out there). I believe that the scope of GDC (a multiplatform D compiler) is way too big for the current way to organize development (one man not visibly interacting with other contributors). -- Lars Ivar Igesund blog at http://larsivi.net DSource, #d.tango & #D: larsivi Dancing the Tango(GDC, that is) What do you think?What the hell?
