I've rewritten rdmd into a new tool called "rund" and have
been using it for about 4 months. It runs about twice as
fast making my workflow much "snappier". It also introduces
a new feature called "source directives" where you can add
special comments to the beginning of your D code to set
various compiler options like import paths, versions,
environment variable etc. Feel free to use it, test it,
provide feedback, contribute.

It would be great if you could create a pull request for rdmd
to add the missing -i enhancement.
Kind regards

I did :)
https://github.com/dlang/tools/pull/292
Made me sad to read that and related PRs ... sigh :(
Yeah I loved working on D. But some of the people made it very
difficult. So I've switched focus to other projects that use D
rather than contributing to D itself.
But anyway! rund seems awesome! Thanks for it :) some questions:
Are these all the compiler directives that are supported (was
not sure if they were an example or some of them or all of them
from the readme):
#!/usr/bin/env rund
//!importPath <path>
//!version <version>
//!library <library_file>
//!importFilenamePath <path>
//!env <var>=<value>
//!noConfigFile
//!betterC
I love the concept of source files specifying the compiler
flags they need to build.
Yeah they have proven to be very useful. I have many tools
written in D and this feature allows the main source file to be a
"self-contained" program. The source itself is declaring the
libraries it needs, the environment, etc. And the answer is Yes,
all those options are supported along with a couple I recently
added `//!debug` and `//!debugSymbols`. I anticipate more will
be added in the future (see
https://github.com/marler8997/rund/blob/master/src/rund/directives.d)
To show how powerful they are, I include an example in the
repository that can actually build DMD on the fly (assuming the
c++ libraries are built beforehand).

/*
This wrapper can be used to compile/run dmd (with some caveats).
* You need to have the dmd repository cloned to "../../dmd"
(relative to this file).
* You need to have built the C libraries. You can build these
libraries by building dmd.
Note sure why, but through trial and error I determined that this
is the
minimum set of modules that I needed to import in order to
successfully
include all of the symbols to compile/link dmd.

Thanks for the interest. Feel free to post any requested
features or issues on github.
