I'd like to hear your comments about the 32-bit D2 and minimal
executables issue. If I use dietlibc and gcc, the minimal (static) binary
is about 0.2 kilobytes. DMD should have some switch (-embedded) which
leaves out all the cruft I don't need. I'd like to use the cool new
features and start with this kind of minimal executables. 0.5 - 50
kilobyte range is optimal.
Are you talking about static linking, or using shared libraries?
I mentioned static binaries, but I meant statically linked binaries. So yes,
a situation where everything, including the standard library, is statically
linked.
Many D features, such as the GC, are simply going to require a significant
amount of code in the library. It is possible to cut down the library size if
you are willing to eschew some features.
