Are there plans to write a homebrew 64-bit linker for DMD?
There are already ld from mingw and lld from llvm team.
Why aren't they used and distributed in DMD for Windows by default?
If the tools mentioned above (LD and LLD) are available and usable on
Windows x64 instead of the ones provided in heavily bloated packages
by Microsoft, how come the DMD installer for Windows doesn't offer
them as an alternative (or better yet as the default)?
AFAIK ld on mingw can`t link against mscoff file format so it is not
very usable. LLD is quite new so I do not know how production ready is.
But I believe LLD will be the answer in future.
Btw. today I want to start working on a D project in work, but I cant,
because there is not enoght space on C:\ partion and there is not
possible to instal VS to another disk :( (Ok in few attempt of
installing VS there has been path I can change but it does not work
anyway, still VS is trying to install to C:\ ).
So maybe one day I will be able to work at job on D windows project.
Fortunately I can still work on other part (still in D) of project which
is running on linux
