history

Project history and usage

DMD is the reference compiler for the D programming language, the practical systems and applications language started by Walter Bright as a better C++.

Project history

The D Language Foundation describes D as a language begun by Walter Bright and grown steadily for more than 15 years. The official D blog gives the compiler-specific origin: Walter Bright began putting D together in 1999 using his existing Digital Mars C and C++ compiler tools and backend, concentrating on a new DMD frontend.

Adoption history

DMD 0.00 was released in December 2001, Linux support arrived in DMD 0.63 in May 2003, and D 2.000 appeared in June 2007 according to the official change log. The modern project is maintained around the D Language Foundation, which supports D infrastructure, DConf, scholarships, and development resources.

How it is used

Package users install DMD for the command-line compiler, Phobos standard library, druntime, and companion tools such as rdmd, dub, dustmite, dumpobj, and ddemangle. The compiler reads dmd.conf settings, accepts DFLAGS, can compile, link, run, generate docs, emit coverage, and work with C toolchains.

Why package nerds care

DMD is package-nerd significant because it is both a compiler package and the historical reference implementation of D. Its packaging tells the story of D's unusual toolchain lineage: Digital Mars roots, POSIX use of system C toolchains, Windows object-format transitions, and eventual open-source redistribution under the Boost license.

Timeline

  • 1999: Walter Bright began putting D together.
