Re: Compile-Time Sort in D

The blog: https://dlang.org/blog/2017/06/05/compile-time-sort-in-d/ Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/6fefdg/compiletime_sort_in_d/ Nice work, the reddit likes keep going up. Nothing new for D users, but by encapsulating CTFE in a bite-sized blog post, you've gotten some outsiders to pay attention. Just read perhaps the most ringing endorsement I've ever seen for D in the comments: "How do you explain that in D complex metaprogramming artifacts such as bitfields, regex engines, compile-time parser generators, checked integers, generic allocators, are readily available from a smaller community, when in C++ you need an article explaining what tricks to use to sort a list of integers at compile time?" https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/6fefdg/comment/dijct48
Re: Snap packages for DMD and DUB

It might for example be possible to entirely disable confinement for such a dtools package, as a short term measure to avoid the current problems. I did have some discussion over the advisability of splitting up the `dmd` snap package in this discussion thread: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/snapcraft/2017-March/003645.html ... albeit I was coming at things from a slightly different angle there. The short version is, keeping everything in one snap might reduce the amount of duplication; but I'm not sure that it's a very big deal in any case. AFAIK snap packages don't have an equivalent of deb packages' "Recommends", but I can raise the issue. On a different note: does anyone have an interest in there being dmd versions available other than the most recent?

Note that by default the snap package exposes these namespaced on the name of the package (i.e. `dmd.rdmd`, etc.). To avoid this, use the `snap alias` command: sudo snap alias dmd rdmd sudo snap alias dmd dustmite sudo snap alias dmd ddemangle Have you thought about creating a `dtools` package with rdmd, dustmite, and ddemangle in it?

Yes, this is a known issue :-( It's related to how AppArmor is used by snapd, rather than anything in the package. See discussion here: https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/failed-to-flush-stdout-permission-denied/485 You can use a workaround, which is to explicitly point `rdmd` to the actual compiler binary rather than relying on $PATH: rdmd --compiler=/snap/dmd/current/bin/dmd or, instead of `rdmd --compiler=ldmd2`, try: rdmd --compiler=/snap/ldc2/current/bin/ldmd2 etc.

It's used by DMD to build the version, that is, the output of "dmd --version". The content of the VERSION file embedded in the executable using "import()". I don't think that's possible to do in any other way. But the VERSION file should be generated when building and not be committed to the repository. For the archives I guess it needs to be generated and included in the archive since Git will not be available when building from an archive. -- /Jacob Carlborg
