June 20, 2005 phobos runtime as a dll | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
I am using D for a command line toolset that has 50+ windows .exe files. I want to cut down the size of the package by hpefull sharing the common D runtime stuff in a DLL. Is there anyway to dynamically link in the phobos runtime as a .dll instead of statically linked in each .exe? Also any guess on how much space that would save (my rough estimate is 80K per exe)? thanks, Glen |

This would solve the GC problem and only use one GC instance in the launcher. Regards, James Dunne |

Posted in reply to James Dunne | Not really sure what you mean here. Here is my criteria - an all D solution is the ideal solution though tiny C stub launchers could work - the exe has minimal size. Said another way the entire package together is minimal in size - individual exe's are needed What would the Phobos launcher be written in? If it is D with the Phobos runtime then it is still 88KB minimal. I am hoping to get that down to 5K-10K and one or more shared DLL's (based on some basic tests with C code). From reading the section on DLL's I am fairly certain you can share the GC between DLL instances...
