Okay, here's an improved version of rdmd with config files.
Thanks, that's interesting.
Added features:
- Config file
- Specify a compiler
- Specify default imports for --eval
- Specify build flags
I'm sorry, I think a config file is overkill. Perl has many more options
and does fine without any configuration besides the envvar PERL5LIB.
But indeed there must be a possibility to veer away from the hardcoded
imports.
It depends on whether --eval is going to be used to any reasonable
degree. I don't think it is, so config files are overkill.
- Option to show source with --eval
Sounds good.
- Changed the definition of "main" with --eval to use 'in char[][]'
rather than 'string[]' (the args probably don't matter much anyway)
in char[][] is the worst of the pack because it's the supertype of both
immutable and mutable. You're better off with either string[] or char[][].
But tango doesn't deal with string.
You could add at the top:
static if (!is (string)) alias char[] string;
- Executables are stored in the temp directory, not the current
directory. This way, they can be reused even if you change
directories; and they don't clutter up your working directory.
That's a good idea.
When I saw that rdmd put the executable with an insanely long name in my
working copy, I was quite annoyed.
Attached is a sample rdmd.conf as well as the modified source (based
on r958 from the phobos repository).
Thanks. Let's hold off on that for a bit until we all have the same phobos.
The only difference due to different phoboses is using FILE* rather than
struct File.
