Atm. ldc is based on the DMD 1.057 frontend, but dmd 1.057 works => it's no bug in the dmd frontend sources.

Here is the error I get using gtkD-1.3.2.zip: 

ldc -O -Isrc -c src/gio/SimpleAsyncResult.d -ofsrc/gio/SimpleAsyncResult.o
ldc -O -Isrc -c src/gio/MountT.d -ofsrc/gio/MountT.o
src/gio/Mount.d(71): Error: class gio.Mount.Mount unable to resolve forward reference in definition
make: *** [src/gio/MountT.o] Error 1

Just a quick note: There are still a couple of forward reference-related DStress regressions compared to DMD which could be a valuable tool for tracking this one down.

I think I have tracked down the cause of this error, though I don't know how to fix ldc itself.

The problem appears to be the use of the template mixin feature in src/gio/Mount.d src/gio/SocketAddress.d and src/gio/Volume.d

They each use mixin to include the components of templates. From reading the D language specs, I think this usage of mixin it basically has the effect of including the contents of the templates inline with the class.

As a workaround, I commented out the "mixin", and in its place, copied and pasted the members of the templates they are using mixin on.

The attached patch to gtkD will allow it to compile on ldc, and the gtkd "TestWindow?" demo app to work.

So, my belief is that something is broken in ldc's implementation of "mixin" when used this way. I hope this helps solve the problem.

Has somebody already managed to reduce this to a small test case suitable for actually debugging the compiler?

with gtkd revision 797 i have this error: 

ldc -g -O -op -inline -d -c -I .. Volume.d -Hd ../include/gtkd/gio -od ../../build/gtkd/gio/ -of Volume.o
../gio/Mount.d(71): Error: class gio.Mount.Mount interface function MountIF.getDefaultLocation isn't implemented

which revision you use?

(in reply to: ↑ 5 ) 01/04/11 22:10:03 changed by john_i_

bioinfornatics:

I used the current release of gtkd, 1.3.2.

klickverbot:

I will try to reproduce the problem in a small example.
