D2 has officially been frozen.
Congratulations to Walter and you then :-)
Thanks much.
There is no major breaking change we can
make at this moment. Defining features that don't change the semantics
of existing code is possible, but will be undocumented at least in the
first print of TDPL.
There is a certain amount of features already partially implemented or
partially broken than can be fixed and finished from now on.
A little example: I think this doesn't compile yet (the compiler can't find
std.math.sqrt):
void main() {
double x = 5 ^^ 0.5;
}
Please bugzillize.
Generally this is the time to align the implementation with the book and
also to put it in great shape. Walter and I needed to make a lot of
microdecisions in the past weeks, which put pressure on the
implementation. But I am happy to report that it generally feels that
we're turning the right corners.
Regarding the recent debate regarding signed and unsigned numbers, I
have great faith in value range propagation.
