Awesome, that's good news. I'd love to test it out, but I've
never built the D runtime (or Phobos for that matter) from
source. Are there any instructions or do I just do something like
make && sudo make install and it'll put itself in the right
places? FWIW, I'm running Linux with the standard DMD 2.060
compiler.
I'm still relatively new to D. A year ago I wrote some simple
programs to get familiar (like an HTTP lib and a start at a
package manager), but nothing low level like GC tuning or the
like. I took a class where we implemented a few simple GCs, but
that doesn't mean I know anything about GC design =D.
Let me know how I can help! I'm currently in school, so time is a
little hard to come by, but I'm willing to report any oddities
that I notice, and perhaps write a few unit tests.

Here's the GSoC project I mentored this summer. A little
integration work still needs to be done, and I've been meaning
to ping the student about the status of this. If you want, I'd
welcome some beta testers.

I've found these threads concerning a precise GC:

Is this issue obsolete, or is it being worked on?
Reason being, I'm writing a game in D and I plan to write it in
nearly 100% D (with the exception being OpenGL libraries and
the
like), but I know I'll run into problems with the GC
eventually.
If this is an active project that may get finished in the
relative near term (less than a year), then I'd feel
comfortable
knowing that eventually problems may go away.
I want to eventually make this work with ARM (Raspberry PI &
cubieboard), and the GC is a major blocker here (well, and a
cross-compiler, but I'll work that out when I get there).
I'm using dmd atm if that matters.
Thanks!
