import core.runtime;
int main()
{
Runtime.loadLibrary("does not care");
Runtime.unloadLibrary(null);
return 0;
}
When I try to compile this code with 'dmd main.d', I get errors
main.o: In function
`_D4core7runtime7Runtime17__T11loadLibraryZ11loadLibraryFxAaZPv':
main.d:(.text._D4core7runtime7Runtime17__T11loadLibraryZ11loadLibraryFxAaZPv+0x4d):
undefined reference to `rt_loadLibrary'
main.o: In function
`_D4core7runtime7Runtime19__T13unloadLibraryZ13unloadLibraryFPvZb':
main.d:(.text._D4core7runtime7Runtime19__T13unloadLibraryZ13unloadLibraryFPvZb+0x8):
undefined reference to `rt_unloadLibrary'
But it's built without errors when I separate compile and link
parts:
dmd -c main.d
gcc main.o -lphobos2 -o main
I checked libraries with nm utility and actually found no such
symbols in static version of libphobos. But shared one has these
symbols.
Well, I'm aware of that runtime loading requires shared version
of phobos2 to avoid duplicating of D runtime. But why does dmd
use static linking by default? Is shared version of phobos still
experimental? Anyway we need some remarks in documentation about
the lack of these functions in static version of phobos.
