Coedit 1 - update 2
I'm glad to announce that a second update, for Coedit 1, is available. https://github.com/BBasile/Coedit/releases/tag/1_update_2 https://github.com/BBasile/Coedit Coedit is an IDE for the DMD compiler. It's 'a DMD GUI for the free electrons'. If it's not enough it may be all too much (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5M2GtNpPE4) Have fun while you can, life is short.
Re: D-Day for DMD is today!
Bruno Medeiros wrote in message news:mrn30f$26ff$2...@digitalmars.com... Cool stuff! Yeah! What's the plan going forward, for those not so much up to date with what's going on? Is the next major release of DMD gonna be D-DMD based then? Which compiler is going to be used to compile D-DMD? The next major release (2.069) will use the D-based frontend. We're planning to use GDC and/or LDC releases based on the 2.067 frontend to compile DMD on most platforms.

I dont know if you' ve get why i've pinged you last week but currently DCD cannot be build in debug mode on Windows 32 bit...look at the notifications and you'll understand why. Believe or not but some low-level C functions were not existing and that's why something like one year ago you get a bug report...it looks like a switch was added to link microsoft C library (-betterC) even on win32 but so far if you compile DCD with -debug -g|-gc then BANG error...
