Removed use of dyn_cast, llvm no compiles
without exceptions and rtti by
default. We do need exceptions for the libconfig stuff, but rtti isn't
necessary (anymore).
Debug info needs to be rewritten, as in LLVM 2.7 the format has
completely changed. To have something to look at while rewriting, the
old code has been wrapped inside #ifndef DISABLE_DEBUG_INFO , this means
that you have to define this to compile at the moment.
Updated tango 0.99.9 patch to include updated EH runtime code, which is
needed for LLVM 2.7 as well.
Note: For a backward compatible interface, use the new bin/ldmd script. It
supports all old options while passing on anything it doesn't recognize.
Some changes caused by this:
* -debug and -version are now -d-debug and -d-version due to a conflict with
standard LLVM options.
* All "flag" options now allow an optional =true/=1/=false/=0 suffix.
* Some "hidden debug switches" starting with "--" were renamed because LLVM
doesn't care about the number of dashes, so they were conflicting with other
options (such as -c).
The new versions start with "-hidden-debug-" instead of "--"
* --help works, but has a non-zero exit code. This breaks some Tango scripts
which use it to test for compiler existence. See tango.patch.
Some changes not (directly) caused by this;
* (-enable/-disable)-FOO options are now available for pre- and postconditions.
* -march is used instead of -m (like other LLVM programs), but -m is an alias
for it.
* -defaultlib, -debuglib, -d-debug and -d-version allow comma-separated values.
The effect should be identical to specifying the same option multiple times.
I decided against allowing these for some other options because paths might
contain commas on some systems.
* -fPIC is removed in favor of the standard LLVM option -relocation-model=pic
Bug:
* If -run is specified as the last argument in DFLAGS, no error is generated.
(Not very serious IMHO)
