Re: Howto use an alternative Linker with DUB?

So what am I doing wrong When compiling a 32-bit executable with DMD on Windows, you get OPTLINK by default. This has nothing to do with dub. You can use the MS linker by compiling a 64-bit exe (-m64), provided you have it installed and DMD is properly configured to use it. Also, I've read somewhere on here about support for the MS linker in 32-bit DMD with a special flag (-ms32coff IIRC), but I'm not sure if it's in the latest beta or what. A search of the newsgroup should turn something up for you if someone else doesn't give you the right answer first.
Re: Mixed Language Programming - e**x crashes
Well, the easiest thing is to see assembler generated at both sides and check if they are compatible. If they are not, try to interface via C ABI. You can also inspect value of X before calling EXP.
Operating on a Variadic Function Parameter Set
If I have a variadic function such as in haystack.find(needles) what options do I have for defining needles in compile-time outside of this expression and call find() with this definition as arguments possibly multiple-times? Is std.typecons.Tuple my only option here? Further, is it possible to operate on this parameter set in compile-time such as in my case reversing all the arguments before feeding them as a variadic set of function parameters? I need this in my module https://github.com/nordlow/justd/blob/master/skip_ex.d#L122 when implementing skipOverBackShortestOf who needs to call retro on each of the needles.

I just found out that Tuple member expand does what I want here.
Re: Precise TLS GC
I realize this shouldn't belong in D.learn :) http://forum.dlang.org/thread/m4aahr$25qd$2...@digitalmars.com#post-m4aahr:2425qd:242:40digitalmars.com
Precise TLS GC
I always wondered why we would use the shared keyword on GC allocations if only the stack can be optimized for TLS Storage. After thinking about how shared objects should work with the GC, it's become obvious that the GC should be optimized for local data. Anything shared would have to be manually managed, because the biggest slowdown of all is stopping the world to facilitate concurrency. With a precise GC on the way, it's become easy to filter out allocations from shared objects. Simply proxy them through malloc and get right of the locks. Make the GC thread-local, and you can expect it to scale with the number of processors. Any thread-local data should already have to be duplicated into a shared object to be used from another thread, and the lifetime is easy to manage manually. SomeTLS variable = new SomeTLS(Data); shared SomeTLS variable2 = cast(shared) variable.dupShared(); Tid tid = spawn(doSomething, variable2); variable = receive!variable2(tid).dupLocal(); delete variable2; Programming with a syntax that makes use of shared objects, and forces manual management on those, seems to make stop the world a thing of the past. Any thoughts?
printing array of strings with writefln?
writefln(%(%s-%), [a, b, c]) doesn't print the intended a-b-c but surrounds each string with double quotes - a-b-c, which I find inconsistent with the fact that writefln(%s, a string) prints the string without any quotes. How do I get the desired behaviour using just the format string?

Thanks! The Ali's book is indeed superb, covering even such minor details.
