Update to work with LLVM 2.7. Removed use of dyn_cast, llvm no compiles without exceptions and rtti by default. We do need exceptions for the libconfig stuff, but rtti isn't necessary (anymore). Debug info needs to be rewritten, as in LLVM 2.7 the format has completely changed. To have something to look at while rewriting, the old code has been wrapped inside #ifndef DISABLE_DEBUG_INFO , this means that you have to define this to compile at the moment. Updated tango 0.99.9 patch to include updated EH runtime code, which is needed for LLVM 2.7 as well.

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,
