Hi,
I would like to start a new project (a bonjour/zeroconf wrapper
and a gui browser using it).
For the gui part I would like to use my existing skills using
wxWidgets wrapper (wxD).
So I have started to report a problem a few months ago:
https://forum.dlang.org/post/rtarlodeojnmedgsn...@forum.dlang.org
But so far(DMD32 D Compiler v2.070.2) it's still not fixed.
Do you think it will be fixed one day ?
Thanks
Yes, I think it will be fixed one day, since - as you know
by reading the very thread you linked - it is already reported
and the GDC developers chimed in and considered it critical.
There are also 118 open critical/blocker bugs that were
reported before yours. Most of them by people here on the
forums and you would need to explain to us why your bug
deserves higher attention than the others (154 in total).
Dlang is free open-source software and there is only a hand
full of people who are fixing bugs in the compiler just for the
sake of improving it. Most people contribute occasionally when
they are interested in a solution to a particular problem.
If you really need this fixed now ... you know the drill. I
suggest you analyze the problem and start a discussion about
it. Honestly asking why the compiler emits duplicate symbols in
a reduced test case might have yielded you some good responses
from the people who wrote the code.
Ok first maybe it's already reported to GDC but to me it's not
only a gdc bug since it also happens with dmd. So I don't know
how bugs are fixed in the differents compilers but I suppose they
share the same frontend (maybe I am mistaken) and in this case I
prefer not to wait for gdc developers to fix it but to see if for
instance some dmd developers have some time to fix it.
I just want to use the language and don't have time to dig inside
its inner workings, so I think D is not for me. This project was
the opportunity to learn the language by fixing an unmaintained
library (wxD) but it's not as easy as I thought.
Cheers
