I just setup the auto-tester to test the dmd-cxx branches:
https://auto-tester.puremagic.com/?projectid=17
One thing that needs to happen for it to build is to catch up with the
changes made to the makefiles to put the build output in the generated
directory. I'm sure there's others, but that'll get past the first
batch of errors I see right now.

Well, the intention is that, although the C++ implementation is now in
an EOL state, I'll keep up the maintenance of it for a while until GDC
is in a position to switch. It's more of a symbolic badge of approval
for the patches I've backported from the D frontend.
This could probably be started by creating a branch of v2.068,
rebasing against the last C++ commit in master, then I'll raise a PR
for all changes I've made since that point.

Hi,
What I see as a technical/design blocker for GDC being able to move
forward to being self hosted is that I do not want to maintain two
versions of the compiler "glue". The change between one and the other
should be seamless.
To tackle this, I've been backporting regression fixes from D to C++,
and aligning the interfaces up so that C++ headers are (almost)
identical between GDC and DMD/stable. I would however like to do this
on a more public platform that internally within GDC.
The idea is similar to the dmd-1.x branch. I am happy to maintain
this as a continuation of the C++ implementation, and strive to be as
close to the current spec as possible, whilst also putting in big
warnings that this branch is deprecated.
Would doing such a thing be OK?
The current C++ implementation is here:
https://github.com/D-Programming-GDC/GDC/tree/master/gcc/d/dfrontend
Differences between this and upstream DMD are documented here:
https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pull/2194
Regards,
Iain.
