digitalmars.D.announce - Beta D 2.072.2-b1

reply Martin Nowak <code+news.digitalmars dawg.eu> writes:
First beta for the 2.072.2 point release.

This version resolves a number of regressions and bugs in the 2.072.1
release. Most prominently scope classes work again in  safe code,
various rdmd bugs were fixed, and -fPIC became default for all linux
64-bit binaries and packages in order to support PIE (default on Ubuntu
16.10 and hardened Gentoo).

Is this bug on the radar? https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16980
Apart from being a regression, it's rather serious because it can be 
very hard to detect and can create really confusing and hidden bugs.

Will try to fix it today, hopefully just an oversight when moving 
aggregate size finalization to semantic2.

I thought https://github.com/dlang/druntime/pull/1707 was in 
stable and slated for this point release.

I see at the bottom of: 
https://github.com/dlang/druntime/pull/1708
" klickverbot klickverbot deleted the stable branch 18 days ago"

Also, https://github.com/dlang/druntime/pull/1715/ should be 
included IMO in addition to PR 1707.

Thanks for catching this.

Yikes, indeed the stable branch was deleted and later recreated 
from a stale version (my local one IIRC). I did protect all 
stable branches for that to not happen again. Also I usually 
merge locally and make a PR from my own merge_stable branch.

https://github.com/dlang/druntime/pull/1727

It's a bit unfortunate that PR creators w/o write access to a 
repo can't add milestones, or can they?

Missing from the changelog is the cycle detection deprecation path that 
I added here: https://github.com/dlang/druntime/pull/1720

This should give people more breathing room to remove detected cycles by 
next release.

My understanding is that there is still a lot of manual labor in 
changelog generation thus making separate PR to adjust 
https://github.com/dlang/dlang.org/blob/stable/changelog/2.072.2_pre.dd may
help.

AFAIK, the only way to disable PIC for a specific build is to use 
a local dmd.conf that doesn't have -fPIC.

Just a heads up because this might trip up (a small minority of) 
users (with weird use cases).

Yes correct there is no override, but there shouldn't be any 
use-cases. If people are statically building whole applications 
(with libc) for gains in the per mile region, they will have a 
custom link step already.
