An obvious outcome from the recent situation regarding the D tooling on SCons is that to properly test the D tool we need an absolutely huge number of test platforms. The most obvious variables are:
Operating system
Processor
C compiler
C++ compiler
Fortran compiler
D compiler
Each of these variables has many values: there are 4 distinct D
compilers in each of two states (present/not present) leading to a large
number of variants for just that variable. The situation obtains for the
other variables.
The only up side is that this not only covers the D needs also the C, C
++ and Fortran ones.
Has anyone got an inkling as to how to get through this nightmare?
