Just saw another linker error in d.learn, and it got me thinking
dmd just calls the linker, and the linker spits out link errors. But what if we had a 'linker wrapper' program which translated mangled names into demangled names? It would at least help people understand the problem better. How many times does a newbie come back and say "I have this problem, and dmd spits out some weird message I don't understand" and it takes a person who half-speaks mangled d names to understand what the name is.
Given that D already includes a demangler, wouldn't it be rather trivial to write this program in D?
I know it would make my life a bit better. Thoughts? Takers? -Steve
