Carefully backport as needed. I have been given approval to create a dmd-cxx branch in dlang where I'll put the continued maintenance of the C++ implementation until a time when we're ready to switch. > Also, what's the plan for GDC w/ DDMD? > Get it so that we can test the latest dmd/stable branch without changing any code (just swap out the dmd frontend). When happy that everything works. Keep in sync with dmd/stable branch, no more trailing behind releases. Regressions in DMD are handled immediately, not after a new release has gone out.
