And of course DMD can use anything, but GDC uses darwin/Unix.
Apple can't seem to make up their mind. uname does return "Darwin".
gcc predefines "__MACH__" and "__APPLE__", but neither darwin nor
osx. The documentation all says osx.
Will you set version(darwin) though, or would that be "version(osx)" ?
The existing D code for Mac OS X all uses version(darwin) from before.
version(OSX)
I just don't think darwin is a good idea, as Apple doesn't even use it.
See http://developer.apple.com/unix/index.html, where "darwin" is
clearly second string. It looks like Apple is pushing aside "darwin" in
favor of "OSX".
I'm not going to argue about what is the best version identifier for Mac
OS X, the I only thing I care about is consistency and "darwin" is
already used by LDC and GDC. Don't make things harder.
Fortunately, (darwin) => (OSX) is a trivial global search/replace.
And I assume it's equally trivial to implement "darwin" as the version
identifier. Again, don't make things harder by breaking existing code.
