That's how I set up the linking in Visual D. Everything
builds. But should the final exe try to link against all 3
libraries, library 3 link to library 1 & 2 and library 2 link
to library 1 (also builds)? Or is the single dependence chain
I created work without quirks?
Is there a functional difference at the end of the day?
You don't link static libraries with each other. They're just
collections of object files intended to be linked with an
executable or a DLL. Order doesn't matter for optlink or the
MS linker, but other linkers, such as ld (which is commonly
used with GCC) require the libraries be passed in according to
dependencies, e.g. dependent libraries come before their
dependencies. Not sure if the LLVM linker retains that
behavior.
Yes. That also worked when I tried it.
Also when I said library, I'm actually talking about the dlls
that are produced. I essentially have four projects in Visual D.
Each produces a binary. 3 produce dlls and the final created the
end exe.
