[PATCH] gnu: Add ldc-1.1.0-beta4

[Frederick Muriithi]

reuse the same phobos, druntime and dmd-testsuite.

Great work Fred!

Yes, they do. I have been using your package (w.o. test patches, i.e.,
test? f) to build beta6 and it works a charm. The new ldc D compiler is
great and I am using it every day.

Note to others, we still need ldc 0.17.2 in Guix because the ldc 1.1.x
compilers are written in D and we need to bootstrap from the last C
version.

Pj.

Thanks for the patch!

Hmm, you added gdb to the native-inputs but commented out the gdb invocations later? Why?

Also, could you ask upsteam whether they add a version flag (or something) for the http tests? So it can be enabled/disabled without huge patches in the future...

Also, why did you comment out unzip? You can add "unzip" to native-inputs.

Also, why do you add another "patch-phobos" phase? I think the one in ldc, from which you inherit, does the same, no?

I think I had the same problem with tzNames before. I think one of the functions there doesn't interpret its argument as a relative path if it contains a slash anywhere, ruining your /gnu/store prefix or something. Please look into it.

I worked through the definition at the beginning adding required
packages, then when builds were successful, but tests were failing, I
went through the tests trying to figure out where the issues were, and
fixing them.
For the gdb invocations, the error message kept pointing to the
Makefile as where the issue was, so I tried to go as close to the
error as I could with my current knowledge.
I think that's only one of a number of invocations, but I might be wrong.

Cool. I will.

Hmmm, it never occurred to me that the issue causing the zip tests to
fail was that unzip was missing. The error messages in the failing
tests did not point to that. I will fix this

Hmm, my understanding of how the package definitions work might be
incomplete: It seemed to me like after you inherited, from a package,
and then added a definition in any of the variables, the new variables
would NOT add to the values of the older ones but rather, they would
completely overwrite the older one.
I will give it one more whirl.

Cool.

Let me work on those items, and maybe submit a better patch later

Yes. I mean you can leave the whole "(arguments ...)" form off.

I tried that, but since dmd2/root/port.c file no longer exists, the
'patch-dmd2 step causes the build to fail. That's the reason I decided
to just add the same things again, but without the 'patch-dmd2 step

Ah, okay. I have no complaints about doing it like that then. Please add a comment to the source code stating that.

> Hmm, you added gdb to the native-inputs but commented out the gdb invocations later? Why?

I've gone and looked at this, and noted that not all the gdb
invocations have been commented out, just the one requiring
dmd-testsuite/runnable/gdb15729 which fails with "Error: No such file
or directory"

The only other part in the dmd-testsuite that's deactivated is the
call "enforce(match(..." in dmd-testsuite/d_do_test.d which was also
failing.

All other invocations to gdb and calls to "enforce()" seem to be working fine.

The annoying thing about these tests is, if you go and build them in
the directory retained with 'guix build --keep-failed' these tests
pass with no problem, but fail when you use 'guix build ...'
