Garrison: You’re right, I’ve fixed _Unwind_Action. In addition, HANDLER_PHASE should actually have been HANDLER_FRAME. Check http://www.dsource.org/projects/ldc/changeset/1597%3A761bf823e59e .

Although I don’t know the D language, I believe there is a typo in the definition of _Unwind_Action as the values should be or’able. From my readings HANDLER_PHASE should have the value 4 and FORCE_UNWIND should have the value 8. Of course you may have pre-massaged values behind the scenes that I’m not seeing.

I think I’d be interested in giving LLVMDC a spin once it gets into the alpha stage. I read on a ticket that it can already compile Tango, which is pretty impressive. Keep up the good work.

Nice. Hope to see first public LDC release alongside with some juicy tests comparing its performance/optimizations against DMD :) Too bad the LLVM2.4 release is delayed for a week…

Looking forward for a big interesting article about the progress, roadmap etc. once it is finally released!

The simplest way to stay up to date on LLVMDC development is to visit our IRC channel. I generally only write about progress here if I feel it’s worth it.

That said, I will put up a post when the slides and video of our talk at the Tango Conference are released. I’ll also think about doing monthly status update posts.

Good job!

Could ypu post more notes on LLVMDC status, please? This makes tracking the progress alot easier. It is interesting to know at what point you are now and what are the plans for future iterations. More posts also means more digg-it’s, redd-it’s and Google-it’s!
