D frontend for GCC

D is a high-level language derived from C and C but is not backwards-compatible with either. GDC is a frontend for D written for GCC.

Supported Systems:

GCC 3.3.x, 3.4.x, 4.0.x
Linux (tested on Red Hat 7.2, 8)
Mac OS X 10.3.x, 10.4.x
FreeBSD 5.2.1
Cygwin
MinGW
AIX (tested on 5.1)

Similar versions should work and other Unix platforms may work. Although the compiler will probably work on most 32-bit architectures, the D runtime library will still need to be updated to support them.

• Improved safety of functions and numerous bugfixes.
