ddox doesn't work

[s-ludwig]

Can you post the output of dub --build=ddox -v? It should give some more hints of what went wrong.

Bay the way, if the ddox package is installed system wide, you have to either run dub build in /var/lib/dub/packages/ddox/0.9.8 manually, or run the dub --build=ddox as root, at least for the first time.

Btw, running using sudo didn't help:

$ sudo dub --build=ddox

DDOX in /var/lib/dub/packages/ddox/0.9.8 is not built, performing build now.

Running sudo dub build in the ddox directory worked (after dmd used all my memory and swap and the CPU nearly burned down my apartment).

Running ddox gave me a couple of errors though:

Yeah, I hope that DMD will get some memory optimizations for CTFE soon. It has become a limiting issue by now. I'm surprised that this is not a high-priority issue, as even Phobos can barely be compiled anymore, at least with unit tests enabled.

I think that the errors are fixed with the latest DDOX master, demangling didn't work in 0.9.8 because std.demangle cannot demangle arbitrary types. I tagged a 0.9.9 version with the fixes now, but it will take some minutes to show up in the registry.

[simendsjo]

I still have nightmares after I used D for a production application back in 2007-2008, so I'm waiting for D to mature a bit more before I try that again. If I'm not mistaken, Don is working hard on refactoring CTFE, so hopefully the memory consumption will be lower in a couple of releases.
