Hi

It seems to me that it is unnecessary complicated/much work to create dlls, at least when compared to gcc. With gcc, the switch -shared is enough to create dlls.

My opinion is that as long as one don't need a specialized
dllMain, the programmer can omit it and the compiler adds
one by itself (when the -shared switch is used). Also, I don't
understand the need for a def file. All exported symbols are
specified by the export keyword (right?).

digc already does it this way, but I don't want to rely on another tool to be able to use dmd.

Digc is a prototype for features which are going to make it into compiler someday. But now, there's simpy too much to be done.
