@Iain: as dmd-cxx is not able to compile the current 'master'
and
'2.068.2' is, would it make sense to replace the current
dmd-cxx with
the LDC version c++ based of 2.068.2 ? I know you did quite a
bit of
work backporting several patches to dmd-cxx.
FWIW we do have Travis and auto-tester configured to run the
dmd-cxx branch, see e.g.:
https://auto-tester.puremagic.com/?projectid=17 (one some
platforms we can even build druntime)
Because it was the only 'active' c++ based branch that was seemed
to be maintained, i choose it in my first attempt to port dmd to
dragonflybsd.
It's just that Iain is the only one so far who showed interest
in the dmd-cxx branch.
As you can see it's based on 2.068.2 and contains all commits
until last-cdmd:
https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pull/7014
https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pull/7015
And a few backports from gdc:
https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pull/7017
https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pull/7227
There are similar dmd-cxx branches at druntime and Phobos.
Of course, work to improve the status quo is very welcome ;-)
I have now (mostly) finished my port, currently waiting for the
original poster of the DragonFlyBSD post
(http://forum.dlang.org/post/CAG2UyHqsa7tv5cVMZWOrZXo5QQus66X5fmbBixxJLooH2J=e...@mail.gmail.com), to give it a test run), before creating a PR.
After this project is done, i will have another look at dmd-cxx
to see what is causing the issues i have been seeing when
compiling on linux (x86_64).
For example: '/usr/bin/ld:
/data/develop/dmd/dmd-cxx/druntime/lib/libdruntime-linux64.a(config.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against undefined symbol `__dmd_personality_v0' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC'
The travis build (7f7dd83) mentioned above passes cleanly, when i
do the exact same steps on current version of ubuntu (artful), i
get different results. This might also explain why the
auto-tester is having some issues.
I think having a working reference bootstrap compiler which
passes all it's unittests is something worthwhile.

Diederik
