How far away are we from getting a reasonably stable/usable MinGW GDC for
Win64? I've noticed that GDC for Linux has made tremendous strides lately and
almost "just works" for the code I've been testing it on. (Thanks to Iain for
his hard work.) I've also noticed that GDC has been ported to Windows using
MinGW (thanks to Daniel Green), but as far as I can tell it only supports 32.
Are there any major, fundamental roadblocks to 64 support or are we a few bug
fixes away?
That was something I was going to look into this weekend. I've
mentioned before I chose to have GDC/MinGW releases use the TDM build
scripts because it supports both 32 and 64 bit compilers.
Interesting. This is good in that it's something I could help out with. I have
neither the time nor the desire to get deep into compiler implementations, but I
already know the Phobos codebase pretty well and could fix up these issues.
However, I would need a reasonably working barebones compiler to test my work.
Your help would be welcomed. I have 32 bit Windows which limits the
testing I can do.
