I have a DLL written in D I load into a Python application

lib = CDLL("mydll")
The DLL loads and can be used no problem. However, once the
DLL is discarded of by the program, the program either
doesn't react or crashes. I still haven't worked out how to
clean up the DLL correctly before it is unloaded / detached
(from Python). I guess it's the GC and/or some C stuff I've
overlooked. I have tried both approaches described on this
page: http://dlang.org/dll.html.
Maybe someone of yous once had a similar problem and found a
solution. Any hints or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Ye. Please try compiling your DLL with GDC.
Thanks for the advice, I might try that later. However, I have
noticed that my DLL does not cause any errors nor does it crash
the app when switching between my DLL and other third party
plugins. There is only one other plugin that crashes the app
after my dll was active (otherwise there's no crash). I've
tried several solutions now but to no avail. I don't think it's
the other plugin's fault, as it works usually fine, but maybe
there is a conflict somewhere in the dark realms of memory.
Sorry, forgot to mention that I wrote a small test app in Python
and everything works fine there. I only wonder, if dlls in D
intrude on the memory / main thread of the main app somehow.
Forgive me my ignorance, I am not a Windows programmer and
usually work on Linux/Unix systems.
