Allow lazy evaluation in manifest constant initializer.

introduce "uniform construction" syntax

Because it is already approved by Andrei.
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/pull/1356

fix Issue 10985 - function inlining

This depends on fixing some codegen bugs
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/pull/2561

Druntime

high-level shared library support

Initial work in pull request #617. Need to improve the API of the Library wrapper.

Phobos

Reduce dependency hell, split up huge modules to enable fine-grained imports.

Upgrade std.regex to make use of new std.uni.

The goal is to reuse public APIs and to get rid of the old internal Unicode implementation. This would de-bloat Phobos and put std.uni to some serious performance test. The fork: https://github.com/blackwhale/phobos


Split std.datetime so that it's a package rather than a module.

Rework std.variant's Algebraic (ADTs)

  • add compile-time checking that all possible types are handled by user code
  • allow recursive data types

Other

automate release builds

  • Nick Sabalausky wrote a release tool.
  • Brad Roberts added install targets to the makefiles (dmd, druntime and phobos).
  • Nightly builds from the autotesters
  • Reusing existing makefiles is preferred
  • Package scripts must build from source (see Issue 10710)
  • Dejan Lekic made a Fedora SPEC file
  • Multi-arch cross-compiler should be optional (more dependencies/bigger size for rarely needed feature)
