These compilers invoke external linkers and have the appropriate .linker
property set. Therefore, BasicLinkerIsCompilerMixin appears to be
misplaced.
It used to work by chance, because BasicLinkerIsCompilerMixin failed to
override the get_allow_undefined_link_args method. The D compilers do
not provide their own get_allow_undefined_link_args, because they expect
to inherit it from Compiler, which simply delegates it to the linker.
Now that BasicLinkerIsCompilerMixin correctly overrides that method with
a stub, it broke compilers that relied on the buggy behavior.
Commit ff4a17dbef modified the version
requirements wrongly. AppleClangC should be the one with higher version
numbers. Exchange them to fix the check.
compiler.get_supported_arguments reports success for certain unsupported
flags when using the gnu C/ObjC, C++/ObjC++ compilers. This fix reads
the stderr on the has_arguments check to ensure the arguments really are
supported and not valid for the language selection
Now that the linkers are split out of the compilers this enum is
only used to know what platform we're compiling for. Which is
what the MachineInfo class is for
Instead of the DynamicLinker returning a hardcoded value like
`-Wl,-foo`, it now is passed a value that could be '-Wl,', or could be
something '-Xlinker='
This makes a few things cleaner, and will make it possible to fix using
clang (not clang-cl) on windows, where it invokes either link.exe or
lld-link.exe instead of a gnu-ld compatible linker.
Ifort can generate dependency information (.d files), it just does it
differently than GNU compilers do. This also fixes a bug caused by
adding the dependency generation commands to the GNULike class later in
this series.
We support 3 D compilers, DMD, LDC, and GDC. DMD is the reference
compiler, and LDC attempts to largely mirror it's command line usage.
GDC does not, it instead acts like GCC (which makes sense). The current
abstraction puts DMD behavior in the base D compiler and then overrides
then in the GnuDCompiler class.
This is messy, but it becomes more problematic when splitting the linker
and compiler abstractions apart.
I've opted to instead split the DCompiler class into two separate
classes. The DCompiler implements core D functinoality, and
DmdLikeCompilerMixin, which implements the DMD and LDC command line
arguments. I've then mxed that into the DmdDCompiler and LLVMDCompiler
classes, and mixed the GnuCompiler into the GnuDCompiler class to get
Gnu command line behavior.
