A switch was added to git to start profiling the GC itself, as 
part of a general push toward better memory management in D.


That should read: A switch was added to *DMD*

Digger v2.1 (2015-05-03)


Hi, I just updated my binary and tried digger build and got this:

mac-pro:Digger robby$ ./digger build
digger: Building spec: master
digger: Adding 
/Volumes/Daten/Windows/d/develop/d-language/Digger/dl/gitinstaller/cmd 
to PATH.

digger: Updating repo...
Fetching origin
digger: Starting at meta repository commit

digger: Cache hit!
Fatal error: 
dmd-b9dee9e4d845b6ee30b4ac63886531dae200a760-b7a24e8234f0f1d5885c4284f67299eb 
was cached as unbuildable



So, it looks I'm missing something that needs to be installed. But I 
don't have a clue how to find out what's missing. Any idea?

The tip this week might be a bit controversial but I actually feel kinda
strongly about this. So many times, I see people asking questions about
how to do task X in D.



Actually, I came over to this forum thread just now specifically to say 
that I liked that tip quite a lot. It's a very good (and well-written) 
point that perhaps doesn't always get communicated as well as it should.

 I agree. This is fantastic work! I am so excited to see this.

Me too! True embedded work should be a sweet spot for D. Too bad we
can't grab 2-3 developers and give them 3-months budget and time to hack
out all the necessary parts for an embedded toolchain,libs,and
methodolgy based entirely on D. Anybody thought of porting relavant
parts of say newlib to D?

Turn off or delete the cache to get a meaningful error message.

The problem was that this reference:

./Digger/dl/dmd-2.066.1/dmd2/osx/bin/dmd

had wrong permissions (644) instead of (755) I guess. Not sure how this 
can happen.

Awesome sweet!


asm.dlang.org updated

2015-05-04 Thread Iain Buclaw via Digitalmars-d-announce

Hi,

I've updated asm.dlang.org site.  Apart from rebasing upstream 
fixes, the only notable difference is that I've added in DMD 
2.067.1 to the list of compilers.


That's all really.


Regards
Iain.
