Source-code wise D is much leaner than C, obviously, but object-code wise it
is *huge* even with dynamically linking Phobos:

I already wrote it in D, then I ported to C with much effort. The option to
extern(C)-ing it didn't occur to me. :-(

extern(C)-ing it didn't occur to me. :-( Also, the D version is really much
too bulky.

Why, is it because the D compiler is already linked to the C library (and
hence knows where the functions are located and such), but not to my
library? I mean, I even gave -L-lmylib and all that, but of

Using DMD 2.0.69.2, the following code:
extern (C) double sqrt(double x);
enum q = sqrt(4.0);
gives the error:
Error: sqrt cannot be interpreted at compile time, because it has no
available source code
But if I do:
import std.math;
enum q = sqrt(4.0);
There is no problem. So two questions:

What do you mean hardcoded into the CTFE evaluator? Surely you aren't
suggesting that the D compiler contains its own implementation of the
functions already implemented in libc?

Is this possible or not?
