Did you write a letter complaining? Any response? Do you have a link to the review or copy of it? (Sorry, I just find this history fascinating).
- WalterBright 7y agoI did complain to the author, but the damage was done. Can't undo a magazine article. I didn't save a copy of the magazine I was so annoyed. BTW, it goes on. A couple years ago a kind soul gently suggested I implement DFA since clang had invented DFA. (No, I didn't invent DFA either, but I do believe that Datalight Optimum C was the first DFA compiler for DOS.) http://www.program-transformation.org/Transform/CCompilerHistory http://www.program-transformation.org/Transform/CCompilerHis...

- mhh__ 7y ago(Bottom link:) does that mean the dmd backend code dates back to the mid 80s?
