IMO : this could be a D "killer feature".
I don't know how complicated that would be (licensing issues, ...), but
as a developer / user I would really like it: It's needed to implement
stuff like addins in a convenient way. And it would be great if we could
finally use statically loaded shared libraries instead of static
compilation of everything (I guess that needs compiler integration, so
it's a good reason to include DDL with dmd ;-)). Also, if you look at
http://www.digitalmars.com/d/1.0/dll.html#Dcode the current way to do D
DLLs for use with D code is not very developer friendly. Exporting flat
functions like getMyClass just doesn't feel right. Now compare that with
DDLs features: http://www.dsource.org/projects/ddl/wiki/AboutDDL .DDL
clearly wins. By the way, I guess most of you know that already, but
http://h3.team0xf.com/devlog/?p=12 has an updated version of DDL with a
new linker.
I can hear you , but it seems that we are pretty alone.
License ?????
The compiler deps stuff is coming out of the same developer house...
...without trouble..
... now DMD comes along with such a license MIX nobody really
understands but W. insist that everything else has to be public domain.
That stinks !!!!
