* better dll support for Windows.
This one is on a lot of wish lists.
It definitely needs to be a target for 2018H1, I'll be making
sure its added! Too big a blocker and comes up a little too
often...
DIP45 has the solution (make export an attribute), it needs to be
updated for the new DIP format from what I heard. It needs to be
pushed, as Windows still the most popular OS on the consumer side
of things, then we can have Phobos and DRuntime as DLLs without
using experimental versions of DMD. I have some plans with the
better DLL support, such as the possibility of a D based Python
(for better class interoperability with D), or even using a
modified set of D for scripting (eg. SafeD only).
