support the 64bit version of Free/OpenBSD?
Oh, I should mention also, that there isn't general BSD
support in D. Try grepping for freebsd in
the source. I just tried it on the source in the 2.063.2 zip
file and I got 510 hits for freebsd,
181 hits for openbsd, and 2 hits for dragonfly. By
comparison, I got 685 hits for linux. That
should give you a crude but reasonable idea of how
well-supported each OS is. As for 64-bit, I
believe it should work on FreeBSD, but likely isn't
well-tested.

FreeBSD/32 and FreeBSD/64 are both tested just as much as the
rest of the platforms. That said, I'm sure that neither gets
the same level of usage from the community as linux or win32.
OK, good to know. It might help 64-bit usage on FreeBSD if the
official dlang zip file shipped with the 64-bit builds of dmd
also, just as it does for linux, though maybe that is already the
plan for the upcoming versions.
