On dmd/druntime/phobos - crash. Was the crash with ldc, gdc, dmd? I ask because from this https://issueexplorer.com/issue/rui314/mold/126 I gather that others believe DMD is out of spec. | |||

I didn't investigate. As soon as things didn't work I typed lld at one point produced crashing binaries with D code but that got fixed. I can't remember if it involved changing dmd or not, but I think so. | |||

It could also be a blocker for some due to lack of LTO support. - gold for GCC+LTO bytecode - lld for pretty much anything else For now LLD only supports Itanium or plain C mangled names, but I'm going to soon add a patch to LLD to make it use of the D demangler and print pritty names for D symbols :) -- Sincerely, Luís Ferreira @ lsferreira.net | |||
