One of the things I've encountered when trying to compile GDC
for OSX is an
issue with the following file
https://github.com/D-Programming-GDC/GDC/blob/master/libphobos/libdruntime/core/thread.d
This issue was noticed by a guy a few months ago on the old
BitBucket
repository
https://bitbucket.org/goshawk/gdc/issue/357/definition-of-_tls_data_array-with-version
His suggestion for a fix worked for me and I was able to
compile GDC for OSX
10.8 quite easily.
The question I have is, what repository do I send a pull
request to, to fix
this? Is the "druntime" element of GDC different from
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/druntime
?
Or are they kept (roughly) in sync?
It's mostly kept in sync, however each compiler implements
their own
runtime folders (libdruntime/rt)
TLS is an implementation detail and requires support of the
compiler,
so send anything relating to it to GDC. However, hold your
horses.
Just having a quick look at the issue reported (I don't look at
bitbucket anymore) what they suggest does not solve the
problem. GDC
doesn't use _tls_data_array, so you are working around it,
rather than
fixing GDC-OSX runtime, which will still be potentially broken
because
it is not handled in the way GDC's TLS implementation works for
OSX.

Ah I see, I'm not to well versed in GDC yet so I'm not really
sure what the implications of my "workaround" actually were.
The bug still exists though, if you try and compile GDC (4.7) on
OSX then it won't compile (it complains about missing symbols in
relation to _tls_data_array)
Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?
