I'm talking about GDB. GDB has no official D support. There was a thread in the NG asking for possible copyright issues to include the GDB patch upstream, and it had no answer for example. I don't think you *have* to answer that mail, but I think helping this kind of things happening instead of ignoring them is good for D promotion too =) > >How is that?

How many people is using that? How bad would it be to call the next version of DMD that include the Tango/Druntime runtime D 1.100 or something (is really hard to pick right version numbers under the version scheme you use[*]) to make clear there is compatibility break in that version? Seriously, there were several (silly) compatibility breaks since 1.0 was out, I think is a huge issue that deserves it... [*] I really wonder how would you call D2 when it's stable. You will just say D 2.134 is D2 final/stable? I think this is another problem with D, version naming is really confusing and lame. You can't know anything from a D version number. And DMD compiler and D specs are too much coupled. It would be nice to have separate version numbers if you really want to encourage some kind of D standard and compiler vendors to start making D compilers. -- Leandro Lucarella (luca) | Blog colectivo: http://www.mazziblog.com.ar/blog/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- GPG Key: 5F5A8D05 (F8CD F9A7 BF00 5431 4145 104C 949E BFB6 5F5A 8D05) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- MATAN AL PERRO: DICEN QUE ESTABA POSEIDO POR EL DEMONIO... -- Crónica TV
