Not Phobos but the D runtime. > What if I don't want to > use the D runtime? What happens with module level `this()` and > `~this()`? I had difficulty figuring out how everything fit together in a complicated scenario. (Different language runtimes calling each other and starting the D library.) However the following worked. > Is there a comprehensive guide on how to do this stuff? I gave a DConf presentation that answers some of your questions: https://dconf.org/2020/online/ Please click the 'November 22' tab on that page to expand "Exposing a D Library to Python Through a C API".

Is there a comprehensive guide on how to do this stuff? What I would suggest is to look at a few of the BindBC libraries and mimic them. https://code.dlang.org/search?q=bindbc BindBC bindings are multi-platform and can be both static and dynamic linking. They can also work without a D runtime.
Consuming D libraries from other languages
It there any resources on how to build D static (`.lib` / `.a`) and dynamic libraries (`.dll` / `.so`), and then use them from C? Do I need to link and initialize phobos somehow? What if I don't want to use the D runtime? What happens with module level `this()` and `~this()`? Is there a comprehensive guide on how to do this stuff?
