You are aware of that C is (almost always) dynamically linked with
the standard and runtime library but D (usually) is not? Using D1
and Tango on Mac OS X (which supports dynamic linking of the
standard library) gives an executable of the size 16 KB if I recall
correctly.
Which is the next thing Walter will be working on after this 64bit
business.
Yes, making Phobos a shared library rather than statically linking it
will pretty much resolve this problem.
Of course when Phobos is a dynamic library you would probably need to
distributed it as well and then you will have same size again or even
larger.
Eh?
If the DMD/Phobos distribution doesn't provide compatible API/ABI between
DMD/Phobos versions, the dynamic library has very little use since all
libraries need to be distributed with the 3rd party application.
If we want to distribute a single shared library, until things get settled
there is nothing we can do.
Also we are not talking about a single exec per project right? If this is
what you mean, yes i agree it has no use,
but if in your project you got more than one executable or shared library
it is a gain.
We all know how shared libraries work right?
