Description Richard (Rikki) Andrew Cattermole 2024-09-06 18:00:23 UTC 
This is a tracking issue for allowing the compiler to offer information related to its installation, allowing a build manager or IDE to understand what it can and cannot do, or what it will utilize.

Installation locations for druntime, phobos sources, binary locations, linker switches ext. can vary widely between installs of a compiler.

It would be good to include information per triple and what ones are available to the host.

This was discussed during the September 2024 monthly meeting and has not got priority.
