I have a template function that all it does is given a symbol,
it loads a dll for its type + its name:
```
void loadSymbol(alias s, string symName = "")()

s = cast(typeof(s))_loadSymbol(_dll, (s.stringof~"\0").ptr);
else
s = cast(typeof(s))_loadSymbol(_dll, (symName~"\0").ptr);
}
```
The main problem is that this function is costing 2KB per
instantiation, which is something pretty high. Specially if I
inline, there is almost no cost when compared to its inline
version. Trying to use pragma(inline, true) didn't do anything
too.
cant you just use a regular functions ? loading happens at
runtime right ?
The entire reason to having that function is having that syntax
which would pretty much do the monkey's job for me:
Instead of writing
myFunction = cast(typeof(myFunction))_loadSymbol(_dll,
"myFunction");
I could write
loadSymbol!myFunction;
But if no other way is found of doing that, I will do the massive
rewriting.
Anyway, I don't think the problem is not in the way I'm doing,
but the output, as that template could easily be inlined
