Sureley it is a pita to write:
version( iOS) version= iOS;
else version( Android) version= Android;
else version= neither;
version( neither) version= neither;
else version=iOSorAndroid;
version( iOSorAndroid){
// ...
}
It is, but it is only a 0.0001% source code increase that can be hidden
in a config file.
It's not just about the code increase though. What if I need AndroidOrWP8,
and I also need Win32OrWin64? This can quickly become a much larger pita.
I really hope that the next two release will focus on bugfixes,
transitioning to D and refactoring.
If DMD source code was lean D code, it would attract more developers to
the compiler. So avoiding changes now would pay off in terms of long
term evolution.
You cannot both transition to D and focus on changes. Freeze the feature
set...
True. Maybe I'm underestimating the amount of effort that is going into
this. I admit I don't know much about whats going on with the DDMD stuff.
