D2 for Win64
Is now in a semi-usable state. Problems remain: $(LI 80 bit reals are truncated to 64 bits when formatting.) $(LI Many math functions are not implemented.) $(LI No symbolic debug info is generated.) $(LI Cannot catch Win64 structured exception handling exceptions.) $(LI VS debugger cannot look at call stack.) $(LI Only tested with VS 2010.) $(LI No installer.) So if you're feeling intrepid, give it a whirl. Expect problems. Yes, you have to have Visual Studio installed. Yes, it generates MS-Coff, and requires MS-Link to link.

Is this exceptions in general or is there some kind of DMD specific exception system that works? $(LI VS debugger cannot look at call stack.) $(LI Only tested with VS 2010.) $(LI No installer.)

This is really good news, you're making good progress, keep it up. -- /Jacob Carlborg

I imagine the Windows SDK would be enough, as it also contains the compilers, at least until version 2010. With 2012 I think Visual C++ Desktop Express might be required, in addition to the SDK. -- Paulo

That mechanism is also used on Linux, OSX, FreeBSD and Solaris, and is also incompatible with C++ EH on those platforms.
