The broader topic of what compiler features Mir GLAS uses could be
the topic of an entire blog post in its own right, and might be very
interesting.
I guess this is my terrain. I'll think about writing that blog post :)
Specific LDC features that I see in GLAS are:
- __traits(targetHasFeature, ...) , see
https://wiki.dlang.org/LDC-specific_language_changes#targetHasFeature
- @fastmath, see
https://wiki.dlang.org/LDC-specific_language_changes#.40.28ldc.attributes.fastmath.29
- Modules ldc.simd and ldc.intrinsics.
- Extended allowed sizes for __vector (still very limited)
To get an idea of what is different for LDC and DMD, this PR removed
support for DMD: https://github.com/libmir/mir/pull/347

Ah, I was not aware that DMD support was dropped completely. I think
that is a real shame, and it makes it _much_ less likely that I will
use mir in my own projects, let alone as a dependency in another library.
Shame is that D is not popular. I think that Mir can replace C / C++ for
hight performance application. And became the best industry system
language.
My goal is not a package for D community. My goal is a library for
industry. A library that can involve new comers and extend D community
multiple times.
I think we need to make it a point to support Mir in dmd. -- Andrei
