Walter Bright: What's the licensing state of DMC and OPTLINK?
Boost
Can it made open-source?
Yes.
If yes, we should patch in a COFF32/64 support, maybe even
port it to D for easier development. I can spend some of my
time working on the DLL support if needed.
You're welcome to do it, it's something I've been meaning to do
anyway. Optlink will never support MsCoff, you'll realize that
when you look at the source :-(
It's filled with Assembly code, and otherwise not very readable.
Would need a lot of work, I don't think it would worth it. Let's
hope that MS will allow us to distribute a linker alongside DMD.
