Hi Guys, due to the old CTFE status thread getting to page 30,
I am now starting a new one.
First let me summerize which features are currently working:
In order of date, the latest features come first.
- fixed continue and break for DoWhileStatements
- non-toplevel Function Pointers as arguments
- basic function pointers
--- phobos, druntime & dmd unit-tests pass ----
- Method Calls (now range foreach will work)
- 1-level Pointers
- recursive function calls
- fixed continue and break for ForStatements (includes foreach
which is lowered)
- basic Function Calls
- static immutable globals
- fixed continue & break for WhileStatemens
- 1d array literals
- ternary expressions ? :
- struct literals.
- basic struct support.
- Slice and Array boundschecks
- 1d array and slice indexing
- do while statements
- break and continue support
- gotos and labels
- foreach over arrays
- for statements
- integer math
.... (and I few a forgot to list)
unsupported features are
- anything with strings (due to missing unicode handling)
- slicing & concat (due to missing memeory-manager)
- floating point math
- classes (due to missing vtbl and ref support)
- exceptions (due to missing stack-unwinding support and
side-band channels)
- more complex structs i.e. with struct-members (due to
incomplete type-handling)
-----------
Currently I am having trouble caused by a bug in dmds inliner
that only happens on when dmd is compiled as a 32bit executable
until I have isolated / fixed this development is slowed down.

I hope this thread is informative and will continue to be that
way.

Just get LDC.
Make it use JIT.
And you'll get all the features working.
Writing slow interpreter is ... wasting efforts.
