Issue ID: 24623
Summary: Rename version CppRuntime_Clang/Gcc to
CppRuntime_libcpp/libstdcpp.
Product: D
Version: D2
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P1
Component: dmd
Assignee: nob...@puremagic.com

There is unfortunately an error in druntime CppRuntime version naming.
I think this arises from the wrong assumption that libstdc++ is bound to GCC
and libc++ to clang. This is not the case. For those in the know, it is
actually very confusing to read CppRuntime_Clang in the code. "What is that?!"
Clang works with both libstdc++ and libc++ and it very much depends on the
OS/installation/user which library is actually used.
I had to find this bit in d_do_test.d to learn what it stands for:
version (CppRuntime_Gcc)
envData.cxxCompatFlags = " -L-lstdc++ -L--no-demangle";
else version (CppRuntime_Clang)
envData.cxxCompatFlags = " -L-lc++ -L--no-demangle";
Ah, ok, so CppRuntime_Clang stands for libc++.
Please, please rename
CppRuntime_Gcc => CppRuntime_libstdcpp
CppRuntime_Clang => CppRuntime_libcpp
The -target option should be fixed similarly.
