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.
