Hi,

I'm interested in utilising D for operating system development, and am wondering what the best path is to hacking the phobos runtime library so that I can compile & link with barely any C environment.

I am using the linux dmd compiler, and would need to remove the threading code that seems to be used in various internal modules of dmd, and am wondering what the consequences would be of removing such code.

Kindest Regards,

Jonathan Roewen

Hi, Jonathan,
