LDC 1.16.0-beta1

on GitHub

Big news

• Frontend, druntime and Phobos are at version 2.086.0, incl. a DIP1008 fix. (#3062)

Platform support

• Supports LLVM 3.9 - 8.0.

Bug fixes

• Make pragma(LDC_no_typeinfo) actually elide TypeInfo emission for structs, classes and interfaces. (#3068)

Known issues

• Buggy older ld.bfd linker versions may wrongly strip out required symbols, e.g., ModuleInfos (so that e.g. no module ctors/dtors are run). LDC defaults to ld.gold on Linux.
• LDC does not zero the padding area of a real variable. This may lead to wrong results if the padding area is also considered. See #770. Does not apply to real members inside structs etc.
