Thanks Anders, that's helpful. If I put together a GDC-newbie page, can I quote what you say? Also it seems that there is a confusing proliferation of GDC versions based on DMD 1.0xx. You mention two, one presumably 1.024 based and the other 1.030 (where do I get that?). There's also the 1.043 based version mentioned on bitbucket/goshawk/gdc. Which should we be pushing? I have been exercising the 1.024 version (4.2.4 20080705 (prerelease gdc 0.25 20080312, using dmd 1.024 - from Ubuntu), with a bunch of code I wrote some time ago, and it has done well - only one show-stopper so far, for which I want to try the later versions. If you have something to do with the Code::Blocks packaging, you should note that their regular expressions for parsing the compiler messages are broken (both for GDC and DMD). If you want, I'll fish out the ones I have used to get it working reasonably.
