Thanks for the offer. But I'd rather not get the exact executable. I used to use symlinks to trick dmd into thinking it was in another directory, I don't want to disable that by having dmd ignore the symlink location. But your offer is generous, and probably would be good to have in phobos. I will keep it in mind! (Phobos' process is due for an update but is blocked by a nasty compiler bug) -- Configure issuemail: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: ---

There are system functions to get the path to the currently running executable. I made a function for this to Tango that works on Windows, Linux, Mac OS X and FreeBSD: http://dsource.org/projects/tango/attachment/ticket/1536/process.d .

Yes, you can find the path to the binary, or at least the command being run (if its a symlink) by searching the PATH. I think DMD already must do this, because argv[0] is pretty much what's available to find the executable directory in the first place. > So I think is a viable option.

Often, I have several dmd2 compilers that I want to test because I'm working on bugs in phobos or because I want to know where a regression happened. Currently, I have to specify the full path to the exe, it would be nice to just have them all live in the same directory, and I could then put that dir in my path. So your original solution wouldn't work for this. -- Configure issuemail: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: ---

No, at least on unix, is the same command you typed, but you can always do basename(argv[0]) and search for that file where the dmd binary (which is already searched by DMD) is, and the other search paths. So I think is a viable option. I find a little odd that the config file changes if you change the binary name, but I can see how it can be pragmatic. -- Configure issuemail: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: ---
