phobos32.lib I suppose? Would be great if it was there. That + struct d-tors would make this release great for those that wait to be able to create C++/D apps for Win32.

The COFF32 lib is built through win64.mak. This is an excerpt from my build script to create lib32\phobos32mscoff.lib:

set dm_make=c:\l\dmc\bin\make
set vs=vs12
set vcdir=c:\l\%vs%\vc
set cl32=%vcdir%/bin/cl.exe
set ar32=%vcdir%/bin/lib.exe
set MSLINK=%vcdir%\bin\link.exe
set lib32coff=m:\s\d\rainers\lib32;%vcdir%\vc\lib;%sdkdir%\lib
set sdkdir=c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1A

set LINKCMD=%MSLINK%
set LIB=%LIB32COFF%
set ARGS=DMD=%DMD% MAKE=%dm_make% "CC=\"%cl32%\"" "AR=\"%ar32%\"" VCDIR=%vcdir% "SDKDIR=%sdkdir%"

cd druntime
%dm_make% -f win64.mak MODEL=32mscoff %ARGS% target
if errorlevel 1 goto xit
cd ..

cd phobos
%dm_make% -f win64.mak MODEL=32mscoff %ARGS% LIB=..\lib32\phobos32mscoff.lib
if errorlevel 1 goto xit
cd ..

A Visual D beta version with parser support for new language syntax (thanks to Alex Bothe) can be found here:

https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/visuald/releases/tag/v0.3.41-beta1

It also comes with some new mago debugger features.

It's seriously too late, unless someone else steps up and does it. I'd need to change the build script to clean and build another Windows target, and my time is bound to regression fixing.

This code in the build script would need to be changed.

https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/installer/blob/7fa531bcaf7352f46af734d7804ab399e7c371b8/create_dmd_release/create_dmd_release.d#L383

@rainers please integrate this with win64.mak so we can get this soon.

Does DMD already link against phobos32mscoff?

I think we should not do it for the dmd 2.067 release. It would be good to have it integrated into the test infrastructure before adding it to the release. Yesterday I tried the unittests with Win32 COFF and hit a regression (?): https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/pull/4504

I'll look into that, but dm make tends to make it messy...

Yes. The default sc.ini expects it in windows\lib32mscoff.

I think that needs to be a hard requirement.

Been waiting for this for almost 2 years, might as well wait for another release. Seriously tho, it is surprising how much little attention is put into C++/D integration considering all the recent fuss about this. And yes, I've tried mixed C++/D app on x64 Win, it crashes with simple writeln() call.

At least you get that far; Android doesn't even get there (though those patches to even let people get toolchains up and running are "only" around a year old).

As a matter of fact we only have few Windows developers, so unless someone with interest in this platform steps up it will hardly improve. Daniel Murphy did a lot of D/C++ integration to get ddmd to work, and apparently, that also works on Windows, so you might ask him for details. https://auto-tester.puremagic.com/?projectid=10
