I see that you mention Mac OS X 10.6 as the supported version.
LDC only supports 10.7 and later. The reason is that's the
first version that has native TLS in OS X. For DMD I wouldn't
go below 10.6. I don't think there's an official lowest version
that is supported but I know that there has been some bugs
reported specifically for 10.5. 10.4 was never properly
supported, If I recall correctly.
People on OS X 10.6 don't use 64-bit audio plugins, so this
combination is indeed missing but shouldn't be a problem. The
transition to 64-bit occured starting with 10.7 if I understand
correctly.
With the 64-bit binary I only support 10.7+ through LDC.
The big surprise was that DMD can produce OSX shared libraries at
all. For good measure I've removed TLS usage I know in the 32-bit
binaries. I haven't seem a change in behaviour.
LDC makes approximatively 2x faster code on vanilla D.
DMD forced me to write some assembly, that made the LDC binary
slower.
