Currently I am building dmd on win64. For some reason some
phobos code references getErrno() function in errno_c.obj and
that object file is not included into final binary (linker
issues symbol absence error - by the way I don't remember it
was needed on linux). It can be avoided by adding file into
linking list, however it is only x86 version and during
building win64 linker issues error due to model mismatch.
1) Why two trivial functions should be placed into separate .c
file compounding win64 buildings headache instead of placing it
somewhere in druntime among other D code?
errno is typically implemented as a macro and often can't be
directly translated to D code.
2) How to avoid it? It comes to my mind to write two functions
in D, compile with -m64 -c, replace x86 version with x64
version, add to gitignore, but then there would be repo syncing
issues. Anyway it seems to be a too strange way to build a
project.
I don't think we should have precompiled object files in git.
The .c file should be there and explicitly compiled along with
everything else.
