    Cool. Now with 4.1.x support I can start fighting again against gdc on arm/nokia tablets.

    This is great. I’m trying to migrate towards more gdc use on all platforms. It’s encouraging to see progress here. With the aid of Gregor’s rebuild tool, gdc is fast approaching a highly usable state… basically it’s becoming easy to use. I avoided it in the past precisely because it seemed complex to setup and use.

    Only a couple drawbacks right now are:

    (1) Very slow compiling compared to dmd.
    (2) Executable sizes are larger than dmd’s.

    Don’t know about performance differences, but that would be interesting to investigate on all platforms.

    LOTS of advantages, however (especially in terms of shared libraries and template code).
