Where Art Thou, LDC?
Abstract:
In the last year, LDC, the LLVM-based D compiler, got some exciting additions like profile guided optimization and link time optimization. In this talk I present what the LDC team has achieved since last DConf. A lot of development around LDC is ongoing. I show on which topics people are currently working and give a status update on two of my pet projects: moving more compiler source from C++ to D and addition of the ucent data type.
