"Our products now run with the D language runtime disabled.
This post is both a post-mortem and tutorial on how to live
without the D runtime. "
For runtime users the good news is that speed is already fine.
:)
The hacks you needed to go through are ugly. Any ideas how this
could be improved?
Barely.
I'm not wise enough to know what this would imply. In my
uninformed opinion, making attribute inference work on destroy()
and making class destructors "nothrow @nogc" would go a long way.
As it is, doing D without the runtime isolates you in a tiny
universe.
About exceptions, if we modify Throwable to have a "release()"
virtual function called (or better own an allocator?), then we
could have the caller catch exception regardless of how they are
allocated.
