Another release out. This just increases separation between the gc and std libraries a bit.

[sean]

New version up. This one incorporates DMD .120 changes.

Hi Sean,

Can you also post a pre-built lib, please?

[sean]

I'll get one up this morning.

FWIW, if you extract what's in the zipfile to dmd/src and edit sc.ini to point to ares instead of phobos, running build.bat should generate everything and dump it into dmd/lib. Currently, the final lib is named phobos.lib, since it's easier to do that than hex edit the compiler exe.

[kris]

Thanks!

(there's some fixed paths in the make-files that have to be edited each time).

[sean]

Oops. I forgot that not everyone has my file strucutre

The ares zipfile is now restrucutred a bit, and contains /lib and /src subdirs. Extract it into dmd instead of dmd/src and you should be all set. phobos.bak is the real phobos lib, while phobos.lib is the replacement (ie. I just ran the build script and zipped up the result).

[sean]

Another new version up. This one incorporates DMD .121 changes (primarily some new TypeInfo classes).

[sean]

Small update online. This one contains an almost complete implementation of the POSIX thread class. I still need to flesh out the DBC for the thread module and move the pthread declarations to their own header file. I also have a Linux-specific patch or two that still need to be applied.

[sean]

There is a new version available. This is an interim build with the framework for basic POSIX support. Nearly everything is still commented out as I don't have a Linux box to reference for platform-specific stuff. If anyone is sufficiently motivated, I'd appreciate some up to date Linux headers that correspond to what's in std.c.posix. My real goal here is full threading and basic utility support, so I'd like to have as much of pthread available as possible, and at least the 'reqired' stuff from unistd.

[sean]

Yet another version is up. This one merges in DMD .123 changes.

[sean]

SVN has been updated with all the latest changes. Hopefully, it should be visible to everyone too.

[kris]

Cool. Did you make any fixes regarding the package names, or anything like that? If not, I'll do it over the weekend ...

[sean]

I made some of the changes you'd mentioned, but I'm not sure I got to all of them. Next thing on my list was to sift through old emails and see what I'd missed, but if you get to it before me then all the better

BTW, I just merged in changes from DMD .125.

[sean]

I just uploaded/verified these changes for Ares:

* std.thread - Removed debug reference to std.c.stdio
* object - imported std.c.stdbool (for bool alias)
* object - added file, line, and next properties to Exception
* std.c.windows.winsock - fixed reference to std.c.stdint
* dmdgc.gcx - changed pauseAllThreads to suspendAllThreads (this was done before but the change was lost)
* dmdgc.gcbits - reverted to old (bad) usage of intrinsic. this version compiles and works okay, but intrinsic still has to be moved. initial attempts were unsuccessful, and I wanted a working version of Ares available until this can be looked into more closely

From what we'd discussed, the intrinsic bit needs to be looked at, and dmdrt.trace needs to be altered so it will build successfully (it's currently excluded from my batch build).

BTW, the prebuild libraries and source will continue to be available at http://home.f4.ca/sean/d/ares.zip The libraries will also be added to dsource before too terribly long.

[kris]

That did the trick, Sean. Thanks!
