           Summary: DMD calling linker over commandline
           Product: D
           Version: 1.011
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: DMD
        AssignedTo: bugzilla@digitalmars.com
        ReportedBy: benoit@tionex.de


While compiling a SWT example on windows i realized that the shell does restrict the commandline length to a maximum of 8192 characters.

For that one can use a response file.

But the problem still exists, because the linker gave errors about a unknown object file. It seems, dmd calls the linker with a shell-like call, and this parameter are also shrinked to 8192 characters.

Probably it can be fixed to also use a parameter file internally.

Increased Severity, because it breaks the build process for projects getting bigger.
