What's the license? Hopefully, Boost or Boost compatible?

For compiler-rt it is Apache 2.0 license

Thank you. We've standardized on the Boost license for D, as it is the least restrictive, and well-accepted in the C++ community.

Is it possible you can make a Boost licensed version of it so we can add it to D?

https://www.boost.org/LICENSE_1_0.txt

That's a difficult question. As I am working at Google I need to consult each open source I want to publish on my behalf. This does not involve contributing to the list of the approved projects and telling about these contributions.

If you want to workaround this for now, I suggest looking into libdivide (https://github.com/ridiculousfish/libdivide), it is published with the boost license and the library contains all the needed artifacts I described in the article (unfortunately, not combined).

Thanks for the pointers. I suspect Google would be ok with Boost, since they are a C++ house and Boost is the major library. A big reason D picked it was because Boost is corporate lawyer approved.
