Description Walter Bright 2021-10-27 19:08:44 UTC 
If I click on the "details" I'm presented with a list of tests:

  DMD x86
  DMD x86_64
  GDC 9 x86_64
  LDC x86_64

However, there is no clue at all what these tests are testing. I am listing this as a blocker because when all other tests pass, but semaphoreci fails I do not know what is different about it, so I have no idea how to proceed when the tests succeed everywhere else.

The "details" page must have a description of what the point of each of the tests is.

I've had a look and all I can change is the name, no summary.

These pipelines check whether the given compiler can still build a usable dmd compiler.

What do those green and pink boxes do?

If you're looking at the page I think you're on, green is a pipeline step that succeeded, pink is a step that failed.
