--- Comment #29 from [email protected] --- Commits pushed to stable at https://github.com/dlang/phobos https://github.com/dlang/phobos/commit/9d73d18c0cd4ecd1bb1ebc8bb01941f209570ca2 fix Issue 16291 - EncodingScheme.create fails - add EncodingScheme.register overload that references the registered class - just adding the FQN name of a class does not reference that class, so it must not end up in the binary and subsequently EncodingScheme.create failed - This used to work by chance b/c all the EncodingScheme implementations were in a module w/ static ctor. Any user of std.encoding did drag in that ModuleInfo, which in turn referenced all classes of std.encoding. Since moving the static ctor to std.internal.phobosinit to break a cycle, the classes were no longer referenced by a ModuleInfo w/ shared ctor, so they wouldn't end up in the binary unless explicitly referenced elsewhere. - deprecate the old EncodingScheme.register(string fqn) b/c relying on Object.factory is slow, error prone (linkage), and really unnecessary - import encodinginit in std.encoding so that the std_encoding_shared_static_this callback actually gets run https://github.com/dlang/phobos/commit/ad739f232ea93f56b9f72920be49d999a2507652 Merge pull request #4840 from MartinNowak/fix16291 fix Issue 16291 - EncodingScheme.create fails --
