Thank you very much! I works fine now.

Another question:
Where is the runtime code localted on disk? And If this code resides in a big file, how can I extract only the relevant routines?
Sorry, but I'm not a compiler expert.

I think it's in libphobos.a (or the .lib equivalent on Win32)

It's in Phobos in the /internal directory.  Under that is the /gc directory, which contains the garbage collector implementation.

If you're using Tango, the compiler runtime is in /lib/compiler/gdc or /lib/compiler/dmd, and the garbage collector is in /lib/gc/basic.

And since he's using GDC[1] some of it is in d/phobos/gcc/ in the GDC source tree, or include/d/*/gcc/ in the installed version. Specifically, look at deh.d for exceptions.


[1]: and presumably not Tango, since he's coding a kernel. Though he could of course use that version just as well.

Oops, good point.  In Tango all of this is in the same place, and I'd forgotten GPhobos was different.

As a shameless plug, building kernels against Tango should actually be easier than doing so against Phobos, since the runtime can be used completely separately from all user-level code, the GC more easily replaced or customized, etc.  Kernel development was actually one of my primary inspirations for the Tango design, since most of the vocal Ares users were working on kernel projects :-)
