A long time ago I wrote one (not open source) application in D1+Tango. I'm still supporting it. The last D1 compiler I can use is 1.066 as then a fatal regression was introduced and templates became unusable because of ICE. Am I the only one who use templates in D1? If not, what is the purpose for all this needless D1 releases as compiler doesn't work for almost any project with templates?
What is the bugzilla issue number for that? In bugzilla, you can tag issues as being "regressions", and I don't recall seeing one like you describe. Here is the current list of regressions:
http://d.puremagic.com/issues/buglist.cgi?query_format=advanced&bug_severity=regression&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED
And let me beat utterly: Now imagine: a person updated a compiler and get ICE. On *huge* codebase. What will he do? He will use old working one. But I decided to go further, found a DustMite and decided to find the source of the error. Do you know that current D2 compiler ICE-s with compiling DustMite? Imagine, what will feel a person when bug finding tool ICE-s a compiler? He will probably consider "D is a peace of unstable shit" and go away. And he will be right as it is unforgivable for us to talk about any "stability" of D. "D is for crazy nerd who are ready to find, report and workaround infinite compiler bugs on any complicated code with templates", that's all we can tell. But I finally managed to compile DustMite without ICE, found the regression and reported. Still unfixed...
What is the bugzilla issue number?
