If I understand Iain’s reply correctly, the showstopper was
lack of support for AArch64 / MacOS in GCC at the time. Has
that situation improved by now ?
If the situation now makes either downloading or building GDC /
AArch64 / MacOS from sources possible, would someone be kind
enough to knock up a shell script for me ?
NB I do have a working GDC/Linux on an x86/64 box now, so I can
compile D programs on that machine, with GDC, and also to
AArch64 using LDC on my Mac M2 machine.
I haven't seen anything being posted or committed to GCC mainline
around aarch64-darwin support. Despite getting emails of recent
activity coming from the fork in github, I suspect it won't be
made available for review in time for the feature freeze in
September/October.
If Iain S. is attending the Cauldron this year, I'll catch up
with him in 3 weeks to find out where GCC support is at.
I know for at least the last two releases it's been possible to
build GCC *on* a Mac M1/M2, just not *for* a Mac M1/M2.
