I blink and LDC gets updated to the latest version! Probably won’t have to test this one myself though, unfortunately.

The 2nd beta has just been released, including the latest upstream stable fixes and a LDC-specific regression fix (introduced in v1.31, for under-alignment edge cases): https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/releases/tag/v1.40.0-beta2

Thanks for the great work.

Today I try wasm with ldc2, can not pass the linker to it:

ldc2 -linker=/user/local/wasi/bin/wasm-ld -mtriple=wasm32-unknown-wasi test.d -v


ldc2 -mtriple=wasm32-unknown-wasi test.d -v

I try with -linker, -gcc and without them. all results in same case:

semantic  test
semantic2 test
semantic3 test
GC stats  1M used, 11M free, 12M total
code      test
lld test.o -o test.wasm -z stack-size=1048576 --stack-first --export-dynamic --gc-sections
lld: error: entry symbol not defined (pass --no-entry to suppress): _start
Error: linking with LLD failed

I dont event have ld.lld in my path, and I also try rename wasm-ld . all turn out use lld here. and I can not modify the args -z stack-size=1048576 --stack-first --export-dynamic --gc-sections

Is this hardcoded in ldc2 ?

I find https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/pull/2951, I guess it will search wasm-ld from ENV path. but after I rename wasm-ld the results is same.

any suggestion how can I pass my own linker here?

add --link-internally=false seems fix the problem.

Then I get this: https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/issues/4696 , any way to workaround ?

No, but there's a wasm section in etc/ldc2.conf, defaulting to -link-internally and some linker flags, to make it work out of the box for most users.

Please don't abuse an announcement thread for questions which are unrelated to the new release.
