There was a question earlier in this thread (which I didn't save but meant to respond to) about the impact of the addition of the GC. From what I remember, the full dmd/druntime/phobos build and test cycle doubled in duration. No one, that I recall, spent any time trying to diagnose or improve it. Since we were up against a release, the choice was made to pull it out until someone does have the time to actually work on it, not just toss in an experiment. _______________________________________________ dmd-internals mailing list [email protected] http://lists.puremagic.com/mailman/listinfo/dmd-internals
