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().
Dynamic linking works in linux (at least observed features work,
see example
http://forum.dlang.org/thread/k3vfm9$1tq$1...@digitalmars.com?page=2).
Dynamic loading does not work.
Is supporting dynamically loadable libraries a priority for the
developers, or something that might not happen for a while?
Yes, couple of days ago Walter announced that shared libraries is
priority and he will get into this after releasing new dmd
version.
