Hey guys!

The linker can't handle *.d.obj files:

http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=2886

I really need this issue fixed, so can any of you guys point me in the right direction? Where can I find its source code and where to begin and stuff...

It is really ruining my CMake building scripts.

Best Regards,
Daniel

The source code is in the linker, all in assembler!

BTW, it's highly unusual to have that file naming convention.

Do you have to name them *.d.obj, can't you drop .d or something like *_d.obj if that helps the linker.

This naming convention is used by CMake which in its turn is very popular in C++ world.

Yes, it is sad indeed, cuz I dont know how to instruct CMake to generate objects using a different naming convention.

I am currently looking into it. Hopefully I will find an answer.

Where is thie linker source code? Maybe I could do something with it.

Oh, nevermind about the source code. Haha. I will keep looking into CMake. Crossing fingers to see this issue fixed though. Thanks.

Pick your favorite disassembler and you've pretty much got it :) In fact, it's probably more readable than the actual source code from what I've read of Walter's comments in the past, if I recall correctly he assembles, then disassembles the code so he can see what's actually happening in between all the conditional blocks in the source code.

The reason I say pretty much is that parts are gradually being ported to C, I think I read on Walter's blog that the C code compiles down to an almost exact equivalent to the assembler before though, so there shouldn't be too much difference.

I use the same naming convention, independently of CMake.  I like being able to tell if a .obj file came from a .c or .cpp (or .d) source.  I like not getting linker errors in the rare case where I have both X.c and X.cpp in the same directory.
