Hi All,

I switched from using free functions in DerelictGL3 to DerelictGL3_Contexts and compilation speed in optimized build using DMD went from 2 seconds to 7 minutes and using LDC from 2 seconds to 10 seconds. Is this a known problem? Are there any workarounds?

The support for contexts is still relatively new and I've received no feedback specific to it since I first released it in the 2.0 alpha. Given the heavy use of string & template mixins, it's possible I'm hitting a corner case somewhere. In my simple tests, I haven't seen it. So the only way I'm going to be able to narrow it down is with a minimal example that I can compile and test with. Is there anything you can give me?

Well since minimal example is a window app that opens a window,
sets everything up and calls opengl stuff I will just push it
to my github project this evening and you will can try with that.
I will let you know when its done.

In the meantime I can tell you that it seems that the main culprit
for long compile time is "-inline" compiler option.

In that case, I should be able to reproduce it. I've not compiled the context stuff with -inline before. Once I do reproduce it, I'll open an issue over github for future discussion. I'll let you know if I need more info.

I tested it again with my entire project and it seems it is not inline thing but -O (optimized build). You can checkout the project here: https://github.com/igor84/dngin

if you try to build it with "dub build -ax86_64 -b release" you will experience very long compilation.

So I was able to reproduce this with my test app. It's going to be a bear to debug. I'll devote some time to it this weekend and see where that gets me.

I've opened an issue for future discussion:
