Bug 4459 – bad format - phobos/std/all.d - 2.051

I found the following issues with std/all.d 1. contains literal '\n' strings instead of actual linefeeds. 2. import statements use '/' instead of '.' (e.g., std/conv instead of std.conv) 3. lists itself as an import.

The issue I reported in 2.047 is still present in 2.048. I tracked it down to src/phobos/linux.mak This does not generate a usable all.d file: #-------------------------------------------------- std/all.d : $(MAKEFILE) @echo module std.all\;\\n \ $(addprefix public import ,$(addsuffix \;\\n,$(STD_MODULES))) | \ sed -e 's|/|.|' -e '/public import std\.all/d' >$@ #-------------------------------------------------- bash and compatibles require the -e option with echo to process escaped characters. Adding -e, this generates the expected result: #-------------------------------------------------- std/all.d : $(MAKEFILE) @echo -e module std.all\;\\n \ $(addprefix public import ,$(addsuffix \;\\n,$(STD_MODULES))) | \ sed -e 's|/|.|' -e '/public import std\.all/d' >$@ #--------------------------------------------------

Created attachment 760 patch for dmd-2.049 src/phobos/linux.mak This patch is the minimal update needed to build libphobos2.a for dmd 2.049 on my linux box. It fixes the format problem with std.all.d and also partially addreses the missing exception module cited it Issue #4646, but does not address the other missing module names in the definition of STD_MODULES.

Still broken in 2.051 Surely I'm not the only one building phobos on linux.

Same error in dmd 2.052

In latest git HEAD, it's now posix.mak, and I haven't had problems compiling phobos on Linux/64bit for at least 2 years now. Also, all.d doesn't even exist anymore. So looks like this bug is obsolete. If this is not the case, please reopen it. Thanks!
