LGTM.
What about the current use case of just exporting some functions for
being loaded by a C application? It should still work using a def-file
(which you have to use anyway most of the time due to
http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3956)
Maybe already deep into implementation but how are we going to deal with
the initialization of data?
module sharedlib;
__gshared int var;
module exe;
import sharedlib;
__gshared int* pvar = &var;
(This kind of relocation also has to be done for stuff like
TypeInfo_Class). It needs initialization code to fill pvar with the
correct pointer.
Do we support the same for pointers in TLS?
int* tlsvar = &var;
This might need initialization per thread, or patching the original TLS
segment.
