If not, i > would make a pull request for the FAQ Both the frontend and backend are now entirely under the Boost license. Anything that says differently is out-of-date, but the change was recent enough, and there have been enough places to change, that it's no surprise if you've found some places where it hasn't been updated yet. - Jonathan M Davis
dlang.org faq says dmd is licensed with norton license
i incidentally noticed the FAQ claims the dmd-backend would be licensed under a norton license. i thought it is an outdated information: https://dlang.org/faq.html#q5 however, i also checked the source code and it turned out that some files dont contain the string "boost": $ fgrep -iLR boost src/ddmd/backend/ src/ddmd/backend/bcomplex.h src/ddmd/backend/dt.h src/ddmd/backend/backend.txt src/ddmd/backend/code_stub.h src/ddmd/backend/dwarf2.h src/ddmd/backend/dwarf.d src/ddmd/backend/mach.d src/ddmd/backend/md5.c src/ddmd/backend/md5.h src/ddmd/backend/bcomplex.c src/ddmd/backend/mscoff.d src/ddmd/backend/dwarf2.d src/ddmd/backend/xmm.h src/ddmd/backend/cv4.d src/ddmd/backend/mscoff.h src/ddmd/backend/mach.h src/ddmd/backend/dwarf.h src/ddmd/backend/melf.h src/ddmd/backend/md5.d src/ddmd/backend/bcomplex.d src/ddmd/backend/cv4.h do you think the missing license headers are relevant?

Events in D
I needed some C# style events, so I rolled my own. Long story
short, the result was unsatisfactory.
Library based events are inadequate for basically the same
reasons as library based properties (often suggested/attempted in
C++). The problem is that the properties/events don't have access
to the fields or methods of the containing object, and as such,
incur the cost of an extra pointer per event/property, or worse,
a delegate if custom behavior per event is needed, in order to
provide that access. One obvious example would be synchronized
properties/events.
Anyways, I threw together some code while thinking about what an
event may look like in D:
struct Foo
{
List!(void function()) callbacks;
@event void onEvent(string op, Args...)(Args args)
{
static if(op == "+")
{
callbacks.add(args[0]);
}
else static if(op == "-")
{
callbacks.remove(args[0])
}
else static if(op == "()")
{
foreach(cb; callbacks)
cb(args);
}
}
// or..
@event {
void onEvent(string op, Args...)(Args args)
if(op == "+" && Args.length == 1 &&
isSomeFunction(Args[0]))
{
callbacks.add(args[0]);
}
void onEvent(string op, Args...)(Args args)
if(op == "-" && Args.length == 1 &&
isSomeFunction(Args[0]))
{
callbacks.remove(args[0]);
}
void onEvent(string op, Args...)(Args args)
if(op == "()" && __traits(compiles, {
callbacks[0](args); })
{
foreach(cb; callbacks)
cb(args);
}
// this could work in the example above
// if events just always returned an int
bool onEvent(string op, Args...)(Args args)
if(op == "!!" && Args.length == 0)
{
return !callbacks.empty;
}
}
}
void baz(int n) {
writeln(n);
}
so usage like this:
`
Foo foo;
foo.onEvent += (int n) => writeln(n);
foo.onEvent += &baz;
foo.onEvent -= &baz;
if(foo.onEvent)
foo.onEvent(1);
`
becomes this:
`
Foo foo;
foo.onEvent!"+"(() => writeln("bar"));
foo.onEvent!"+"(&baz);
foo.onEvent!"-"(&baz);
if(foo.onEvent!"!!"())
foo.onEvent!"()"(1);
`
and outputs this:

But, yes, Textadept and vim+vim-core (Gentoo speak) are both gigantic required to bare bones vim. But bare bones vim doesn't fulfill the syntax highlighting requirement IIRC. The requirements are rather vague, you can interpret it in a number of ways. The sensible interpretation imho is "as low an install footprint as possible while still fulfilling the other requirements". I'm not aware of anything below ~20MB install footprint that fulfills the other requirements, but I'd be interested if you know any. As the OP did not state any requirement, he can consider 2GB as small. If there's nothing significantly smaller that fits the other requirements, yes. As those exists, no. Vague requirements do not invalidate the recommendation. I don't consider the requirement to be vague if taken together with the other *must* requirements. On its own, I would agree with you. Laptops have 1TB harddrives as good as standard. Even on a "small" 128GB SSD, it pales in comparison to the 10GB that Windows alone takes. Let alone the page file, swapfile, hibernation file etc... All red herrings. I wouldn't consider 200MB gigantic in comparison to 20MB cause there is literally no difference of use for me. The thread is about OP's requirements. You'd have to have a really shitty laptop for it to be an issue. Not relevant. As the OP has not stated the size of the laptops it needs to be installed upon, the discussion about 180MB vs 20MB or 2MB is irrelevant. Except I'm not arguing that ~20MB is small. It's just small compared to 180MB in this specific context as both fulfill the other requirements. If I knew of a 2MB recommendation that fits the other requirements (such as easy to install) I would say 20MB is gigantic and consider my own recommendation to be invalid. We are not talking a 4GB Visual Studio installation. And its 160MB for the 32Bit version. :) You say that particular discussion is irrelevant, yet you pursue it. So if the OP has other requirements, HE can state them in this topic, instead of you making up ideas as to what YOU consider small. I'm not making up any ideas about what's small in terms of a fixed number; I've merely argued about size in relationship to each other, i.e. 180MB is gigantic only in relation to the 20MB under the assumption that both fulfill all other requirements. With regards to the requirements I've stated what I consider the sane interpretation, but if the OP clarifies that point to a hard number, that would indeed be helpful. Your comments are irrelevant without knowing the OP his expectations. I consider OP's expectations to be clear from his posted requirements, so until OP has indeed clarified, I disagree. So again please do not distract from the topic. Why "again"? You've not stated so before AFAICT. Regardless, I disagree that discussing the validity of recommendations in a thread specifically made to gather such recommendations is a distraction from the topic; I would contend that it lies at the heart of the topic.
