Awesome stuff, through and through.
An awesome way to hit compiler bugs, huh?
Well sorry, but it's really like that: programming with D is awesome,
until you hit problems like ICEs.
I agree that it's a problem, which is why the latest compiler release
got rid of 40% of the remaining segfault and ICE bugs (including the
three most commonly encountered). You should find a significant
improvement now.
I have patches for many of the remaining bugs. Unfortunately there are
5 ICE bugs in bugzilla with no test cases, which means they can't be
fixed.
Your work is astounding, amazing, and heartening. Thank you.
Thanks!
It's a fit of rage, actually. I hit one compiler segfault too many, and
turned violent. After a couple more, I'll probably be calmed down enough
to return to library development. <g>
BTW, only about half the bugs fixed in the last release were from me
(not all my patches were correct).
