I tried using a shared library for OSX yesterday. I opened it

But, I got a message in the console saying shared libraries
were not yet
implemented for OSX. What exactly is it that's not working?
TLS, module constructors, module/class info, perhaps the GC,
similar things.
Heh.. That's pretty useless. Any idea on the state of things?
Like if there are plans to support this in the near future(few
months)? I couldn't find many conversations on this. This
kinda-totally ruins my plans(on OSX at least).
Actually, TLS works on OS X: dmd emulates it, while ldc has
native TLS using undocumented OS X APIs. I'm unsure of how
full-fledged the support is on those other issues, but I believe
the big issue is that loading multiple shared libraries is not
supported, as that will take more work:
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/druntime/blob/master/src/rt/sections_osx.d#L198
If you want to talk to someone about getting more of shared
libraries working, I believe Martin is your man.
