Are you saying that GDC is way faster? But I take your point. Steve
Re: [Phoronix] Merging In The GNU D Language Compiler To GCC
Just as a matter of interest, how do you rate GDC 2.055 for speed alongside the Linux DMD. Of course it is way faster. You should compare with gcc instead.
Re: [Phoronix] Merging In The GNU D Language Compiler To GCC
Iain, You've made a cross for yourself there! If you need help with grunt tasks - like a broken piece of D code with a decent description of the problem, or even grunter, I might be able to help. As you know, I've been in those muddy waters before with nobody to even consult. With a guru like you I could probably get moving fairly quickly. Just as a matter of interest, how do you rate GDC 2.055 for speed alongside the Linux DMD. Steve

Maybe if this was posted on Reddit it would get some vocal support and give the GNU guys reassurance that D is a sought-after language. Anyway this is great news! Congrats to Iain Buclaw and anyone else who helped.

Even if this is an issue at first, I'd bet it will become less and less significant as DMD/Phobos improve and solidify.

Why not just write a redirect rule from the old D pages to the new ones?

I would imagine that the official releases would be 1 frontend version behind DMD - given that there is a 2 month period of bug-fixes only before release. Whilst the development trunk/snapshots will remain in sync. Again, can't really say - it's too soon to be asking this. :~) Regards Iain
