I spotted some patents that can theaten current DMD implementation.
Wanted to clarify things.
http://www.freepatentsonline.com/6185728.pdf - this patent describes method
pointers implementation (delegates)
This is trivial, what idiot grants these kind of patents?
And were there really no delegates before Jan. 31 1996 when this was filed?
http://www.freepatentsonline.com/5628016.pdf - describes compiler support for
SEH, also this is the reason GNU toolchain does not support SEH right now
Both patents were owned by Borland, right now, I believe Microsoft owns them.
Walter, could you give some comments about this? Does dmd violate anything?
