The linux/windows/dinstaller.nsi is a fork of windows/dinstaller.nsi. Mainly differs as it includes everything on itself, removing the need to download dmd/dmc/libcurl every time dmd is installed. There are some other minor changes. Errata: s:linux/windows/dinstaller.nsi:linux/win/installer.nsi: BTW. Changes on this fork: - Built in all the needed components. No downloads during installation. - Checks if another dmd version is already installed, and force to uninstall it before proceed. If uninstaller fails, installation can be forced by the command dmd-2.064.2.exe /f. - Changes on the Windows system registry fields and values. - Remove the dmd version 1. - Not allowed to go ahead if nothing is selected. - Changed default path to C:\dmd. If previous dmd installation is set to another path, installer uses it instead the default. It is prepared to be built by the linux/dmd_win.sh, which is included on linux/build_all.sh as well. Add to these changes: - Check if a dmd installer instance is already running (only one at a time allowed). - When uninstalling, keeps root dmd folder if some file/folder added by the user remains there, but not if in dm nor dmd2 folders. -- Jordi Sayol

On 2013-11-07 08:57, Mathias Lang wrote: Good to have a thread on it, thank you for taking this step Walter ! Although, it looks to me that the numbering scheme and the git tags are not related to the build, but rather related to the release. So you might consider a release master, not just build. This will involve doing (or delegating to the proper person) the changelog, define a release cycle, which will include pre-release (rc / sanity check), release (communication / building / test / upload ...), and possibly post-release (be sure the security fixes are being backported to the supported versions, ie) actions. IMO that would be very beneficial for D to have someone holding that role. I fully agree. -- /Jacob Carlborg

On Wednesday, 6 November 2013 at 21:25:46 UTC, Walter Bright wrote: There have been a lot of comments about the package naming scheme and numbering scheme. I confess that these issues do not seem that important to me, as the user just clicks on a url, but I recognize that they are very important to others. This is why I believe that D needs a Build Master. This person needs to be someone who ensures that the packages are all properly built, the build scripts work, the versions are done right, the git tags are done, etc., and takes pride in it being done to perfection. (Note that because dmd changes constantly, and the operating system targets also change constantly, the package build scripts constantly break.) Eventually, I'd like at least the package builds to be done automatically by Brad's autotester. But someone still needs to make sure it is working properly and keeps working properly. This is why large projects have release manager(s). The more D becomes popular, the more work will be performed by this individual, or individuals. Especially if we want to support various Linux distributions, etc...
D mentioned in Secure Coding in C and C++
Hi, just for the records: D is mentioned in Secure Coding in C and C++, 2nd edition, by Robert C. Seacord as a secure alternative to C and C++. (http://www.informit.com/store/secure-coding-in-c-and-c-plus-plus-9780321822130) This citation is from page 25: D is a general-purpose systems and applications programming language. D is based largely on the C++ language but drops features such as C source code compatibility and link compatibility with C++, allowing D to provide syntactic and semantic constructs that eliminate or at least reduce common programming mistakes [Alexandrescu 2010]. :-) Regards, Kai

Anyway in -release -inline -O -noboundscheck mode the sample now works perfectly smooth! In debug mode it's a little slow, but this is expected as the C++ sample also lags a lot in debug mode. What's really interesting is that DMD beats VC in debug mode, but maybe this has something to do with debug information that VC includes in a debug build (perhaps profiling hooks? who knows..)
