digitalmars.D - dmd from git segfaulting when used with wrong version of druntime

reply deadalnix <deadalnix gmail.com> writes:
Hi,

I'm running linux debian x86_64, it may matter.

The current version of dmd in git master segfault every single time it 
is ran with an old version of druntime. This is already an issue that 
the compiler segfault instead of providing any usefull error message (or 
at least a stack trace, which I can't get even with gdb for unknown 
reasons).

But worse : even with playing with the command line, I'm unable to get 
the right version of druntime used.

This means that I'm reduced to either fuck up my whole system by 
replacing druntime by the git one, or modify global config file to 
achieve similar results.

This means stop any meaning full work *IN* D when I work *ON* D. This is 
very problematic, and likely to stop me to work *ON* right now.

Is it possible to use a given druntime with some command line when 
calling dmd ? If it is, HOW ? If it isn't, I highly encourage this to be 
planned ASAP.

This is a result of fixing the ABI for structs on Linux 64. You'll have to 
recompile druntime with the new dmd. A recompile of druntime/phobos should be 
sufficient.

Good news that is fixed !

I already did compile druntime and phobos with he new dmd, but I'm 
failing to use them without f***ing up my system.

Can't I specify druntime and phobos using argument in command line ?

Use can use DVM to compile DMD. It will set up a correctly working 
dmd.conf/sc.ini file.

https://bitbucket.org/doob/dvm

Example of folder structure:

dlang
   |- dmd
   |- druntiem
   |- phobos

In the dlang folder, run:

$ dvm compile .

Another possibility is to add you own "trunk" in dvm/bin,env and  
compilers, and build dmd yourself when you need to.

Is this feature available for Windows too?

You can use -defaultlib=libname to tell it where to find the libphobos2.a 
(which will contain the runtime if you built with the standard make 
files).

However, the way I recommend is to drop a dmd.conf (or sc.ini on windows) 
file in the same directory as the built dmd executable that points to the 
right directories for your newly built druntime and phobos.

I did that and it work great ! Thank you.

(thank to other people too :D).

BTW, wouldn't be a good idea to make dmd.conf's parameter less important 
than command line one ?
