Hi,

since D is now a GCC built-in D appears as a nice replacement for shell scripts.

I'm *not* looking for a dub solution as dub is something that needs to be installed.

A web search found a wrapper script for GCC which imitates rdmd for C but something like that still isn't out of the box experience.

So, is there a GDC solution that can substitute rdmd ?

Something like:

#!/usr/bin/gdc

int main()
{
//...
}

Shouldn't rdmd somehow work with other compilers as well? Maybe you'll also need gdmd though, so that rdmd calls gdmd which then calls gdc. But I think more recent dmd versions also support #!/bin/dmd without rdmd, so maybe our gdmd should also support #!/bin/gdmd usage.

Neither gdmd nor rdmd are shipped with gdc though in most distributions, so none of these solutions are out-of-the-box. I think we need to make sure that gdmd gets cleaned up and packaged by all linux distributions. Iit will likely still be in a different package in most linux distributions though.

Hello,

On Gentoo, all of those are in the dlang overlay. But I was trying to avoid that. I guess a --run option for gcc wouldn't be too bad, so this would be supported by all the languages gcc supports :)

anyways, thanks for your reply.
