What's the current status of dynamic loading (and/or linking)
for D libraries?
I've been playing with this a bit in hopes of calling a D
shared library from R through the C ABI, and noticed that on
Windows it seems fine, but on Linux dmd won't build my library
unless it includes main(), and it segfaults if I call writeln().
I've seen this thread:
http://forum.dlang.org/thread/hmhaldyfziejrplgz...@forum.dlang.org
And also this one:

What I gather is that right now, DLLs work on Windows, but on
*nix, shared libraries cannot yet use anything from Phobos.
Am I correct that it's safe to dynamically load a D library on
Windows? How out-of-date is the information in the tutorial for
making DLLs on dlang?
Is supporting dynamically loadable libraries a priority for the
developers, or something that might not happen for a while
For shared libraries (linux) I'd use ldc . It's just works.
