Is it possible to build master or gcc-7 branch of GDC from
source against GCC?
If so, which of the instructions
- https://wiki.dlang.org/GDC
- https://wiki.dlang.org/GDC/Installation/Generic
should I follow?
Even better, have anybody already got a script that does this?
Pretty much. Our CI script can be used as a reference too.
https://github.com/D-Programming-GDC/GDC/blob/master/semaphoreci.sh
Moreover, commit
https://github.com/D-Programming-GDC/GDC/commit/2141559f78912b75ef7f9edc6e2d5548ea5ae282
has message "the frontend sources are now at 2.076". Does this
mean that master compiles a working D compiler compatible with
DMD 2.076?!!!
C++ headers are aligned with 2.076, as well as all regressions in
the changelog backported. We can build phobos 2.076 and pass all
unittests. Not all features have been backported from D however.
Notably static foreach in the upcoming release (and I have no
plans to port it).
Moving to self hosted (ddmd) is something that will happen soon.
Iain.
