Bug 14546 – "ClockType.uptime is not supported by MonoTimeImpl on this system"

Attempting to build dlang.org on a Linux/64 system results in the following error message: ../dmd/src/dmd -conf= -c -w -o- -Isrc -Iimport -version=CoreDdoc -Df/home/dlang/d/dlang.org/web/phobos-prerelease/core_time.html project.ddoc /home/dlang/d/dlang.org/macros.ddoc /home/dlang/d/dlang.org/html.ddoc /home/dlang/d/dlang.org/dlang.org.ddoc /home/dlang/d/dlang.org/.generated/2.067.1.ddoc /home/dlang/d/dlang.org/std.ddoc /home/dlang/d/dlang.org/std_navbar-prerelease.ddoc /home/dlang/d/dlang.org/.generated/modlist-prerelease.ddoc src/core/time.d src/core/time.d(2696): Error: static assert "ClockType.uptime is not supported by MonoTimeImpl on this system."

It must be an issue related to version(CoreDdoc), since ClockType.uptime doesn't even exist on Linux. I guess that MonoTimeImpl needs to be version(CoreDdoc)-ed as well.

Jonathan, could you please look into this? As I said it's preventing us from building dlang.org, which means it's blocking any and all website updates.

I'll try and put something together this evening. Martin created a pull request that attempted to fix it https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/druntime/pull/1257 but it's running afoul of the same compiler bug that previous version of the ClockType/MonoTimeImpl PR did. If we could put the static constructor inside of MonoTimeImpl itself (as that PR did originally), then we wouldn't be hitting this problem with the docs, but a dmd bug prevents it. :( I think that I can fix it by simply using version(CoreDdoc) in key places, but I don't know how much I'll be forced to version to make the docs build - hopefully not a lot. Regardless, this situation makes me wonder if we should add the documentation build to the autotester to catch this sort of thing in the future.

Actually, a quick look at it showed that I could fix the problem with only a small change, so here it is: https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/druntime/pull/1259

This makes it so that ClockType isn't actually used in core.time in the documentation build (since if it is, it triggers static assertions, since none of the systems support all of the ClockTypes, but they all have to be defined for the documentation build in order to show up in the docs). https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/druntime/commit/972954cfd972b65d91fe2f545b10ddbdceb94ac5 Merge pull request #1259 from jmdavis/bug14546 Fix bug# 14546 - Make the druntime documentation buildable again.
