Dear all,
I was trying to invoke some D code from Python and ran into
issues which I eventually traced back to a simple example on
the D website itself :
https://dlang.org/articles/dll-linux.html
Particularly the section "Dynamically Loading a D DLL From a C
Program"
In my case, and indeed already in 2013
(https://forum.dlang.org/post/yeqyqaaguhngczlnv...@forum.dlang.org), shared static this does not get invoked
I normally use:
LDC - the LLVM D compiler (1.21.0):
based on DMD v2.091.1 and LLVM 10.0.0 (under Linux)
but I also tried
DMD64 D Compiler v2.095.0
Is the solution suggested in the linked post the "canonical
way"?
Where could one file a suggestion for an update to the
documentation?
Cheers!
PS Enjoying my project in D especially how easy it is to get
the same code to run under windows too
Follow on to my own question: on Linux, with gcc, I have created
the following file "starter.c" that I inject into my D shared
library:
int rt_init(void);
int rt_term(void);
// should really check for errors!
static void __attribute__((constructor)) Dstarter(void) {
rt_init();
}
static void __attribute__((destructor)) Dterminator(void) {
rt_term();
}
That seems to do the trick. Not sure how clean this is?
