Version identifier switch for GNU D Compiler (GDC)

Question

Seems that GDC does not support -version=<ident> switch, like DMD does.

--version or -v do not work either.

How do I instruct compiler to use given version identifier?

Answer 1

you need to use -fversion see the gdc wiki

Answer 2

The gdc program does not accept parameters in the same way that dmd does. If you'd like to use DMD-like parameters with gdc, use gdmd, a helper script which wraps gdc and exposes a dmd-like command-line interface. For example, gdmd will translate -version to -fversion.
