For example, I can not compile using GDC 5.2.0 (2016-02-05T11:17:49.3234388) a program importing std.meta because that file is not found.

I was comparing the include folders between GDC and DMD and I found a great mismatch of versions.

\lib\gcc\x86_64-w64-mingw32\5.2.0\include\d\std     from GDC  5.2.0 
dmd2\src\phobos\std                                 from DMD2 2.070.0

This preventing that I can use GDC with confidence.

Anyone knows why includes of GDC are not the same Phobos library?

GDC and LDC lag behind DMD, as adapting the latest DMD changes with the respective compiler backends takes some time.

Note the DMDFE column on the downloads page:

http://gdcproject.org/downloads

It indicates which DMD version the corresponding release is based on.

  • I am aware about this lag between them, but I checked the GIT source control and I found that even DMD2 2.066 have meta.d. Thus. GDC based on 2.066 should has it too. Phobos is different in GDC. – Jairo Andres Velasco Romero Mar 28 '16 at 18:32
  • DMD 2.066.0 does not have a `meta.d` in Phobos. It's neither in the released zip/tar.gz files, nor [in git](https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/phobos/tree/v2.066.0/std), so I don't know why you would say that 2.066 has a `meta.d`. – Vladimir Panteleev Mar 29 '16 at 05:45
  • You are right, man. My bad, I don't know what I saw. My question is resolved now. – Jairo Andres Velasco Romero Mar 29 '16 at 20:56
