Bug 13604 – Phobos is broken

Pull the latest dmd, druntime, and phobos from github. dmd and druntime can be built successfully, but not phobos. While building phobos, you'll see a bunch of warning and deprecation messaged, followed by an error: C:\dmd\import\core\thread.di(431): Warning: instead of C-style syntax, use D-style syntax 'void[ThreadSize - __traits(classInstanceSize, Object)] data' C:\dmd\import\core\thread.di(788): Warning: instead of C-style syntax, use D-style syntax 'void[ThreadGroupSize - __traits(classInstanceSize, Object)] data' C:\dmd\import\core\thread.di(1109): Warning: instead of C-style syntax, use D-style syntax 'void[FiberSize - __traits(classInstanceSize, Object)] data' std\internal\math\biguintx86.d(120): Deprecation: asm statement is assumed to be impure - mark it with 'pure' if it is not std\internal\math\biguintx86.d-mixin-141(141): Deprecation: asm statement is assumed to be impure - mark it with 'pure' if it is not std\internal\math\biguintx86.d(147): Deprecation: asm statement is assumed to be impure - mark it with 'pure' if it is not std\internal\math\biguintx86.d-mixin-158(158): Deprecation: asm statement is assumed to be impure - mark it with 'pure' if it is not std\internal\math\biguintx86.d(163): Deprecation: asm statement is assumed to be impure - mark it with 'pure' if it is not std\internal\math\biguintx86.d(120): Deprecation: asm statement is assumed to throw - mark it with 'nothrow' if it does not .. .. .. std\internal\math\biguintx86.d(1114): Deprecation: asm statement is assumed to throw - mark it with 'nothrow' if it does not std\internal\math\biguintx86.d-mixin-1158(1158): Deprecation: asm statement is assumed to throw - mark it with 'nothrow' if it does not std\internal\math\biguintx86.d(1159): Deprecation: asm statement is assumed to throw - mark it with 'nothrow' if it does not std\internal\math\biguintx86.d-mixin-1195(1195): Deprecation: asm statement is assumed to throw - mark it with 'nothrow' if it does not --- errorlevel 1

core/thread.di has been deleted some time ago. You will have to remove it from your druntime/import/core directory. It's not clear from the output, but please also make sure that your import path points to the druntime import folder from git, not the folder of a released dmd. The deprecation messages are annoying, but should not stop the build.

Just to be safe, I deleted my existing dmd, druntime, and phobos development directories, and pull the latest again from github. Indeed, core/thread.di is not exist in druntime anymore. But phobos still cannot be built, like stated in my first post. > It's not clear from the output, > but please also make sure that your import path points to the druntime > import folder from git, not the folder of a released dmd. Hmm so that means I need to modify sc.ini? (On my laptop, the released dmd is in C:\dmd)

>Hmm so that means I need to modify sc.ini? > (On my laptop, the released dmd is in C:\dmd) The version of dmd used to build git druntime and phobos should be also current git. Most people do this by specifying the path to dmd when invoking make: make -f win32.mak DMD=../dmd/src/dmd assuming dmd, druntime and phobos are fetched into parallel folders. In this case, you will also have to create an sc.ini in the dmd/src folder with appropriate settings (import and library search paths). You should also copy link.exe from the release folder into the same folder.

After successfully building dmd from git, I copied all the executables to C:\dmd\bin (replacing the old ones). So far, this works fine. Hopefully this won't cause any problem.

I think I misunderstoodd your post. I deleted thread.di from existing (stable) dmd directory, and phobos can be built. Case closed.
