You can do the same thing when invoking the compiler manually by adding "-v" to see how it links the application and compare that with Dub.

You can navigate around there and even go to the root and see all the various packages included in gtkd: http://gtk-d.dpldocs.info/gtk.html Any Gtk-D users here who can give me some practical feedback? Unlike most dub packages, gtkd is just too big to automatically generate on the server, so I have to do it on my computer and copy the (almost 26,000!!!) files up to the 'net.

Re: Blog post: using dynamic libraries in dub

GtkD takes about 45MB on its own, and that means it can take a fair bit of time to build anything that depends on it -- even if it only uses a handful of symbols. Building it as a dynamic library can shrink compile times significantly. https://blog.ikeran.org/?p=323 An example of this strategy in use: https://git.ikeran.org/dhasenan/resin-browser/src/master/dub.json And for GtkD, that is why it would make sense to relay on the packages supplied by your distribution. And just list "gtkd-3" in the "libs" section. Avoiding the need for the workaround to build a shared version. -- Mike Wey

I am using DMD V2.072.2 on 64bit Debian testing. As you are probably aware, GtkD auto-generates code. Unfortunately, adding the ability to remove event handlers generated an increase in the size of code, instead of just tracking the delegate directly it now uses a wrapper class to also track the connect flags and returned handlerId. Right now a unique wrapper class is generated for each event handler which I suspect is the primary culprit for the increase in size. If this size increase is a major concern, one option might be for me to try to use a generic wrapper class instead of a generating a unique one. This would mean converting the generated code to cast the delegate before using it. I'll let Mike chime in with his thoughts first though before looking too much into it. I didn't expect a jump in size of that magnitude, but i didn't check for it either. In release builds the size difference is smaller, and the best results are with ldc. (-O -release + strip) With ldc the HelloWorld demo is just 2.4MB (2.2MiB) a 0.2MB increase from the previous release. For the library itself this is a bit more with a 30% increase in size. -- Mike Wey

GtkD 3.5.0, GTK+ with D.
GtkD is a D binding and OO wrapper of Gtk+ and is released on the LGPL license.

Signal handles can be removed with the `gobject.Signals.Signals.handlerDisconnect` function. ``` gulong id = addOnDraw(); Signals.handlerDisconnect(this, id); ``` Users who previously removed there handlers from the internal array used by GtkD will need to update there code to the new system.
