September 14, 2014 Working around the 64k global types issue on windows | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
I've got a program that, likely through a combination of use of GtkD and several variadic templates, has managed to bump its head against the 64K global types limitation in the Windows version of DMD. And unfortunately, neither GDC or LDC's current windows versions work well enough to compile my code, so at the moment I'm in a spot where I literally can't debug on windows. (And the program compiles and runs fine when I turn off adding debug symbols, and also compiles with debug symbols on linux, so I'm pretty sure I'm not doing anything grievously wrong) Is there any way to work around this issue on windows? Override the limit, somehow get the compiler to mangle template instantiations in a less verbose way? |

Have you tried doing a 64-bit build (-m64)? I think the debug format is different (a .pdb file will be created), so it might not have that limitation.
