Package: ldc
Version: 1:1.17.0-2
Severity: normal
I noticed that ldc(1) and ldc2(1) manpages do miss some documentation for some
flags:
Looking at ldc2 --help and at https://wiki.dlang.org/Using_LDC
there are some important flags that are missing in man page.
For example '-shared', '-betterC' and '-sanitize=' ones. But there are few more.
Also I noticed man page is quite old:
December 2009
based on DMD v1.051 and llvm 2.6 (Wed Dec 2 17:39:53 2009)

That is quite not correct for current version of ldc.
PS. It also misses some new lines in that section.
Thank you.

[ Fabio Fantoni ]
* New upstream version 1.42.0
* d/patches: removed one patch applied upstream, refresh one and
remove 2 not applicable
* Re-instate /usr/include/d in the LDC include search path. Done by
shipping debian/90-debian-common-include.conf into
/etc/ldc2.conf/ via d/rules instead of patching upstream.
* Re-instate mips64el defaults (-mcpu=mips64r2 -mabi=n64) via
debian/91-debian-mips64el.conf, same mechanism.
* d/gbp.conf: don't use patch number and other improvements
* SONAME bump for new ABI (libphobos2-ldc-shared111 -> ...-shared112)
* add missed conflict with libphobos2-ldc-shared110
* d/control: remove quilt from build-deps (Closes: #1129937)
* d/ldc2.1, d/ldmd2.1: regenerate the manual pages from the current
ldc2/ldmd2 --help output via help2man; the shipped pages dated back to
December 2009 and were missing many options added since (e.g. --betterC,
--fsanitize, -shared), and ldmd2.1 was a verbatim copy of ldc2.1. Also
fix the obsolete .TH header and document the procedure in d/README.source
(Closes: #943792)
* d/salsa-ci.yml: handle the failing CI jobs
* d/control:
- remove redundant Priority field
- fix spelling error in libphobos2-ldc-shared-dev description
- remove Rules-Requires-Root, no longer necessary since trixie
* Update standards version to 4.7.4
* d/libphobos2-ldc-shared-dev.install: drop duplicated entry
* Update d/copyright
.
[ Jeremy Bícha ]
* Explicitly build with llvm 19 since ldc isn't ready for 21 yet
