This issue on bugzilla hasn't been updated since July 2011, but
it's assigned to Sean Kelly:

I've found these threads concerning a precise GC:

http://www.digitalmars.com/d/archives/digitalmars/D/How_can_I_properly_import_functions_from_gcx_in_object.di_171815.html

Is this issue obsolete, or is it being worked on?

Reason being, I'm writing a game in D and I plan to write it in
nearly 100% D (with the exception being OpenGL libraries and the
like), but I know I'll run into problems with the GC eventually.
If this is an active project that may get finished in the
relative near term (less than a year), then I'd feel comfortable
knowing that eventually problems may go away.

I want to eventually make this work with ARM (Raspberry PI &
cubieboard), and the GC is a major blocker here (well, and a
cross-compiler, but I'll work that out when I get there).

I'm using dmd atm if that matters.

Thanks!

Jameson
