Not multiple compiler for the same target, but you may add multiple target using different compiler for each. (Maybe you already know this but..)

Yes, this works, and this makes perfect sense.

huhlig:
Would it be possible to use multiple compilers in the same target for different file extensions or individual files. I am working on a mixture of C and D and need multiple compilers to accomplish this. The option seems to be available on the Files advanced tab but it never seems to 'stick'.

thomas:
No, although it accidentially works nevertheless if you use gcc (since gcc is not a compiler, but really a front-end to half a dozen compilers). One target, one compiler, it doesn't work differently.
What you can do is, use the C compiler in one target to compile, but not link. Then add the object files to the next target which uses the D compiler (or the other way around). Or, make a static library, which only requires you to link one file afterwards (instead of a dozen object files).

huhlig:
Any particular reason for this lack of functionality? I am curious, the only reason I can find seems to be "it doesn't make sense" which multiple people have refuted.
