If really want good optimization, then use ldc. dmd does a decent job, but ldc is much better. dmd compiles very quickly, so it's likely to be better for development, but if you want every ounce of performance, it's a poor choice. - Jonathan M Davis
Re: Phobos docs in pdf?
I used CUPS to print as pdf individual pages from the standard library. I want to get all the basic information I need easily at hand. I used unpredictableSeed in my code. It seems to be a property of something somewhere. I hope it is thread safe. Who knows? I guess I'll look at the source code like you say to try to understand. The plan is to use D as a low level programming language as much as possible. In particular to maintain the ability to translate the code to other languages as easily as possible. I wonder if there is an integer bit rotate instruction in D somewhere? I see the dmd complier doesn't convert say s3=(s3 << 45) | (s3 >>> 19); into a rotate instruction like gcc would. Maybe I need to find some optimizer settings for dmd.

Personally, I'd just look at the source code then, but the dlang.org build does seem to have a pdf target that it says "Generates the D specification as a PDF." So, presumably, it's possible to create a pdf of at least the language spec, though I don't know if it includes the Phobos docs like the html build does. I've never used it, so I don't know exactly what it does, and I don't know if the result is built and provided anywhere. However, if you download the release as a zip file (or xz or whatever), it includes an html directory that has all of the documentation. So, you should be able read that in your browser. - Jonathan M Davis
