Revision as of 22:18, 13 August 2016

Compilers: Overview — DMD — GDC — LDC ✎

DMD »

Digital Mars D compiler
The formal D compiler.

GDC »

GCC D compiler
Fast and open source.

LDC »

LLVM D compiler
Fast and open source.

Which compiler should I use?

If you're a beginner DMD is the recommended choice, as it is the implementation closest to the D Language Specification. Otherwise it depends on what you need, what platforms you intend to develop for, and your personal preferences. GDC and LDC both generate substantially faster binaries than DMD.

Comparison

Package and/or binary availability, by platform and compiler

⚠ This list had outdated information about package version - thus version information has been removed. Please check the most recent available package yourself on the linked pages.


Some unofficial repositories and downloads are listed here, but of course many more do exist. With a little searching, you may be able to find something more up to date for your chosen OS.

Very old compilers are (mostly) omitted, as they are unlikely to be of interest to users.

Experimental compilers and forks

  • SDC (Stupid D Compiler) - from-scratch D compiler implementation, written in idiomatic D.
  • LDC for iOS - LDC-based toolkit for cross-compiling to iOS
  • D for Android - Toolkit for cross-compiling to Android (x86 using DMD and ARM using LDC)
  • Calypso - LDC fork which provides direct Clang interoperability, allowing the use of C headers directly.
  • dcompute (LDC CUDA and SPIRV) - Library and LDC fork to "target CUDA and SPIR to enable hassle free native execution on the gpu"
  • MicroD - DMD fork which outputs C source code instead of object files
  • dtojs - DMD fork which outputs JavaScript source code instead of object files
  • DIL - D compiler written in D2/Tango (inactive project)
