Who produces the Extended Pascal compiler you have been using? Oops, never mind. Read the article and see it's Prospero Software.

Found indeed. And built. dub run --compiler=$HOME/BuildArea/LDC/bin/ldc2 does the business. Steve's fix to Phobos works. I don't get a silent thread termination in Phobos now. -- Russel. === Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 41 Buckmaster Roadm: +44 7770 465 077 London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

The highlights of this version in a nutshell: * Based on D 2.080.1. * Win64: Breaking ABI change by passing vectors efficiently in registers. * Config file extensions for cross-compilation. * Support for DragonFly BSD. * Various fixes, most notably wrt. exception stack traces on Linux. Full release log and downloads: https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/releases/tag/v1.10.0 Thanks to all contributors! So cool :) I'd like to be concerned about its improvements to iOS & Android support.

OK, I am now tracking merge-2.081 and it builds for me.

I'm a complete CI noob, so I'm learning slowly :) To save you some trouble, AppVeyor supports both a YAML, like Travis, and a web UI to configure the CI system. If you're not including some parts of the YAML file, like "build_script", it will use the default, which is preforming some Visual Studio specific task. You also need to download the D compiler manually since AppVeyor doesn't have built-in support for D the same way as Travis. -- /Jacob Carlborg
