I have just pushed plplot-5.15.0-46-gd6670a304 The principal change here is I have improved the test_d implementation to make it conform more closely to what I have planned for -pthread handling for the plplot project case. In addition, I have updated the test_d README file to reflect the fact that the -Xcc feature for dmd that we need for -pthread handling for that D compiler has evolved from an experimental dmd feature to mainstream (on the dmd git master branch and scheduled to be part of the dmd 2.089.0 release on November 1st). In addition, I have substantially updated the instructions concerning how to build that master branch version of dmd.
This version of test_d shows no regressions compared to the previous version and like that version continues to force use of -pthread on most platforms (e.g., Linux, Mac OS X, and MSYS2) to provide a strong test with this project that truly reflects the -pthread handling needs of the plplot project. @Takeshi: I am sorry it took me so long to mature test_d, but now that has occurred could you please test the (updated) test_d project on your Mac OS platform following what the (updated) cmake/test_d/README file says? Note in order to do this test (and also to test the plplot project later) you will need a CMake version built from a recent master branch (I think you already have that) and similarly for dmd. For your convenience I have attached my current bash script for building dmd. I suggest (after looking through it to confirm that what it does is consistent with the build instructions in the above README file) you run it in a dedicated directory (so the git clones that occur and the creation of the install subdirectory that contains the install tree don't mess up anything else) as follows: ./dmd_git_build.sh HEAD to build dmd and associated libraries for the HEAD of the master branch of the set of four repositories that are required. Note, the script takes a lot of care so that you can run the same command days later (to get access to the latest HEAD master branch result on that day) without stale file issues from the previous build within the same dedicated directory. Good luck, and let me know how it goes with the required dmd build (unless you want to wait for (a) the dmd 2.089.0 release on November 1st and (b) the MacPorts packaging of that release that will presumably be finished substantially later). And once that build is done, I am, of course, interested in your comprehensive test results for the (substantially updated) test_d project. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
