Merging The GNU D Compiler Into GCC, Again
Posted by Michael Larabel on June 20, 2012
It's been talked about before, but it's being attempted again to merge GDC into GCC. GDC is the compiler front-end for the D programming language.
In November of 2010 I wrote about Digital Mars wanting to integrate D language support into GCC and in October of last year it was brought up again. Neither time was the D language support merged for one reason or another -- like whether there would be an active maintainer, some technical issues, etc.
As seen from the gcc-patches mailing list, merging GDC is being tried again for GCC 4.8. Will it get pulled this time? We'll have to wait and see -- so far the responses have been minimal.
