User will not be able to choose between compilers :) This is what people need, not 800 variants of every tool where at least one cannot work properly. Sorry, to be honest I didn't take you seriously. Your bug report, so the starter of this off topic fork, is barely understandable: impossible to understand if it was a language issue, an issue of the header function generator... You can open a bounty for this.

Please, stop adding new features to D and start fixing existing ones. - Satoshi --- [1] https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16590 You've got things reversed. The point of a company like Google or Sun backing a language is that things get done, like this bug fix, so that the language can be used for whatever that company needs it to do. You claim you want to make money off the language, yet you are demanding that volunteers immediately fix a bug that is holding you back. That's an odd business model. You have three options: pay to fix it yourself, use a different language that allows you to benefit from work paid for by more profitable companies like Google, or wait for volunteers to do it on their schedule. This is not unique to D. I'm reminded of Visual Studio not supporting C99 or Firefox not supporting certain HTML 5 features. That was what I thought to propose to him: he could found a bounty. Bounties are for a product but the founder doesn't have to be in the company or, like here, in the organization.

True...an Outrageous Scam... Instead you seem to get stuck on first issue related to the language. First issue? Developers of LDC can respond and fix issue in a real time but developers of D frontend not. And that's the thing what pissed me off. But what's the real issue ? You want to release a pre-compiled static library with headers ? Yes. Then you could license the sources, simply. No, thanks. Just think to your strategy and try to be wise. Even Qt sources are available. There's at least 10 ways to waste a freelance commercial project. Personally I've been client of a commercial GUI framework, and we get the sources with the license. It worked, I mean that the developer had clients.
