You say > the patches aren't essential, and yet at the same time that there are "some > essential runtime fixes in those patches" ?.. First point was in response to patches needed to apply to build it (compiler patches, build patches). These are not required. The second point was runtime support, which needs some love. For instance, I have implemented EmuTLS in the runtime backend, but it's not yet working with the GC (attempts to hook the data regions into the D GC have so far caused deadlocks). If this were to be fixed, you can build GDC on MinGW with --disable-tls -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
