Issue ID: 21266
Summary: Improve TTY and color detection in build.d
Product: D
Version: D2
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P1
Component: dmd
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
tl;dr: currently build.d always uses -color=on, but this doesn't work on all
CIs (e.g. not DAutoTest)
The problem is that some CIs do support these coloring sequences and build.d
used to be called via the Makefiles, but I presume people still wanted to have
colored log output locally.
Anyhow, the detection code is here:
https://github.com/dlang/dmd/blob/10288e524535a51a061750e118c0144d64d93550/src/build.d#L158-L160
Probably a good idea to stop catering for the makefiles and add a similar TTY
detection like DMD's (see below) and detect/hard-code the CIs which support
color-coding
