I’d like to set up something to call it from other modules, and
specifically I’d like to see if inlining works across module
boundaries - I have no idea whether it does or not as I don’t
understand fully in detail how module imports work.
How do I go about setting up such a test harness with LDC (or
GDC) on either OSX/ARM or Linux Debian x86-64? I’m not sure
what tools I need.
Note that I cannot use DMD, this code is LDC/GDC-specific. LDC
would be my preference as that is what it is ultimately aimed
at.
Do I just provide two filenames as inputs to the compiler ? I’m
wondering if the compiler resolves the import statements rather
than the linker - is that right? I only have a vague
understanding of how the import statement works - pulling in
digested intermediate-code or something?
Will in-line functions be inlined even if the called routine is
across a module boundary?
