Currently that is not possible. When you turn on unittests to
be compiled in, that runtime will automatically run them and
then end the program.
The compiler should run the unittest, the compiler should run
the unittest, no matter what flag the programmer is using, in
that case: -betterC
Run what?
Until its in a binary on the target platform (which may not be
the host), there is nothing to run.
Running using CTFE will not allow for testing for things that
are platform dependent. Which we do plenty of.
You guys should read what you suggest to people sometimes, i
repeat, D is not a new language, and D is not the only
language, provide greatness to people, not dumb and broken
stuff
It's not broken. It's working exactly how it needs to work.
You can't expect a runtime dependent feature that has no way of
working without a runtime, to work without a runtime.
In my book this is broken and needs to be fixed, as a user i
don't care about under the hood things, it's a you problem, user
should be able to unit test
