my question is if there thing i can do with dmd only and visa versa?
what the feature of one of them over the other?
what the different between them in term of inline assembly, performance,
platform and bugs?
They share the frontend, i.e. language support is pretty much the same.
dmd's backend is limited both in terms of performance and platform support (x86
only), but it compiles D code faster.
gdc inherits gcc's sophisticated optimizer capabilities, but may have unique
bugs in its glue code.
On Windoze gdc is really preferable cause the dmd/dmc toolchain is just crap
and doesn't support x64 at all. Building gdc yourself is PITA on Win though.
On Linux the difference isn't that big.
