Do you mean having dmd _itself_ as a 64-bit binary or having dmd _build_ 64-bit binaries? There are _no_ plans, as far as I know, to have a 64-bit binary for dmd. As I understand it, Walter doesn't really see much point in doing so (not to mention, there are plenty of other pressing issues). So don't expect a 64-bit binary of dmd any time soon. As for producing 64-bit binaries with dmd, as of dmd 2.052, if you build with - m64 on Linux, dmd should produce 64-bit binaries just fine. However, I don't know how well it will work for any of the BSDs. - Jonathan M Davis
