So the best way to build release version(assuming two-phase build)
should be:
1. Synchronize DMD compilation switches with DMD link
switches(-release -O -inline).
2. Pass all the project sources in one DMD cmd line, compile.
3. Link produced object file with other libs.
Am I correct?
"-release -O -inline" are all compiler switches, and do not apply to the
linker.
Speaking of link-time optimization:
I assume that the standard library is not subjected to link-time
optimization, because all code is used from the .lib.
Doesn't this mean that standard library functions will never be inlined?
Even very short functions, that merely return a value? (e.g. range.length)
The sources are available. Compared to C/C++, D doesn't use header files
(at least not Phobos).
I suppose that the same applies to the runtime, but if the runtime
functions were short enough to be inlined, the compiler could just
generate the appropriate machine code instead.
