Which patches do you need?

Hi,
I cannot actually comment on the 64-bit version, but as it is probably
also the candidate for dmd2.052 I'll take the opportunity to report on
updating to the latest revision from github a couple of days ago. As I
need a couple of patches, I cannot use the release version anyway.
There were quite a few problems getting my project (visuald) to
compile (on win32):
- bug 2962 was hitting me hard, asserting on
std.conv.parse!(real,string). I reported the workaround in the bug
report.
- join(stringarray,std.string.newline) no longer works, you have to
copy std.string.newline to a local variable.
- the linker was bugging me with unresolved symbols from phobos until
I noticed that I was creating documentation while compiling. This
enables version D_Ddoc, which causes other declarations to be used in
several places. Unfortunately, these were not the same as the ones
that were used when compiling phobos, namely std.file.DirEntry.isDir
and std.file.DirEntry.linkAttributes, but there might be more. I can
understand the motivation of having a separate version with
declarations for the documentation, but these are likely to get out of
date pretty soon...
- after fixing that, the linker complained with this:
m:\s\d\dmd2\dmd\src\..\..\lib\phobos.lib(datetime) Error 162: Bad
Type Index reference to type 1003
which boiled down to the linker not liking the type information
written for "enum DayOfWeek : ubyte". Using int as the base type fixed
it, but I guess this is not intended. I could not reproduce the error
with a small test file, though. While trying to narrow it down, I had
to browse through std.datetime. This is really difficult due to the
unittests distracting from the actual code so much. Actually I added a
function to visuald to remove them all shrinking the file to a quarter
of its size. I'm impressed by the completeness of the tests, but I
would prefer to find them in a separate file.
- I'm still using the d_time functions (e.g. std.file.getTimes), but
it seems the conversion from SysTime is wrong by a month (plus an
hour, but that might be due to wrong timezone settings).
- There's still that 32-byte ".exe" file in the windows\bin folder of
dmd2beta.zip
Regards,
Rainer
