What was the primary cause of the bloat? I can't imagine my proposal
causing any more bloat than the explicit jni call (or equivalent) woudl
have otherwise.
Template bloat. Every call bridging D/Objective-C is made throw a series
of templates. This is for making it possible (less verbose) to create
bindings.
It might be possible to decrease the template bloat by having a tool that
automatically generates the bindings and outputs what the templates do
inline.
Why aren't the templates inline themselves? Although if the templates do a
lot of work, wouldn't that INCREASE the code volume?
I can't really imagine how Obj-C linkage could bloat so much, what was
involved? What did you have to do in addition to what a regular Obj-C
function call would have done?
I answered in my other post. In short: virtual functions you can
override to override Objective-C methods.
