Yes, the same true for Mir too. A precompiled library based on
top of Mir GLAS can be used with DMD.
Is this feasible, i.e. is there a finite amount of kernels that
we can precompile and use?
I thought the kernels were fully template generated, but your
idea suggests sth. different.
Mir is generic library and it will have few dub configurations.
For example a configuration which provides precompiled extern(C)
BLAS API for common types. This is useful for D as for other
languages like C or Julia. In addition, it allows to have few
precompiled versions, optimized for different CPUs: x87, SSE2,
AVX intel, AVX amd, AVX2 intel, AVX2 amd, and etc. The proper
configuration may be chosen RT or CT.
