Removed TypeOpaque from DMD. Changed runtime functions taking opaque[] to void[]. Implemented proper type painting, to avoid "resizing" array casts in runtime calls that previously took opaque[]. Implemented dynamic arrays as first class types, this implements proper ABI for these types on x86. Added dwarf region end after call to assert function, fixes some problems with llvm not allowing this to be missing. Reverted change to WithStatement from rev [704] it breaks MiniD, mini/with2.d needs to be fixed some other way... Fixed tango bug 1339 in runtime, problem with _adReverseChar on invalid UTF-8. Disabled .bc generation in the compiler runtime part, genobj.d triggers some llvm bug when using debug info. the .o seems to work fine.

This is the source code to the front end Digital Mars D compiler.
It covers the lexical analysis, parsing, and semantic analysis
of the D Programming Language defined in the documents at
www.digitalmars.com/d/

The optimizer, code generator, and object file generator are not part
of this source, hence the source does not currently constitute a complete,
compilable program. However, many people have expressed a strong interested
in producing a D compiler with the GNU compiler sources. This release should
enable that.

These sources are free, they are redistributable and modifiable
under the terms of the GNU General Public License (attached as gpl.txt),
or the Artistic License (attached as artistic.txt).

It does not apply to anything else distributed by Digital Mars,
