gdc

D has 3 main compiler implementations. One, LDC, is based on LLVM: https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc GDC is based on GCC: https://github.com/D-Programming-GDC/gdc DMD is stand-alone: https://github.com/dlang/dmd

Its called GDC (sadly) https://github.com/D-Programming-GDC/GDC

I think the main factor is that the primary contributor to GDC (Iain) made a giant push for this to happen in the last 6-12 months. Just look at this graph: https://github.com/D-Programming-GDC/GDC/graphs/contributors Great work, Iain!!!

Likely none. Well, I guess that's kind of an oversimplification though so here's the detailed story: We require some per-target integration to provide correct version(ARM), version(linux) statements in D code and we need to know the size of a mutex on the target system. Iain is currently rewriting this code here: https://github.com/D-Programming-GDC/GDC/pull/500 However, we already provide and the new, rewritten code will continue to provide this integration for many targets. For example, all debian targets should be working: https://packages.debian.org/experimental/gdc The main problem with architecture support is porting the runtime library and phobos. Here ARM is supported, MIPS and PPC has seen some work from LDC devs but making this work fully on GDC might require some small changes, MinGW is broken (and was never fully supported). O

That is not the correct link to GDC. It's an old and out of date version controlled by someone who hasn't been involved for years. https://github.com/D-Programming-GDC/GDC
