I've been hitting that regularly in recent times, which is why I'm using this fix:
https://github.com/DigitalMars/optlink/pull/15

It basically just disables the error message, so it would be good if Walter would comment on it. At least the error message seems to imply that the limit only exists for the older CodeView formats.

The runtime part has been merged now as well: https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/druntime/pull/928

Pardon my ignorance but does that mean that static library written in D could be used (linked) by 32bit program compiled with Visual Studio?

Yes, as far as I understand it.

If that is indeed the case then this is huge for me. I am doing 32bit Win apps and their iOS versions. The moment I will be able to use D libraries on both platforms I will totaly do it. In fact I want to be one of the very first to release paid iOS app with D code in it ;)

It's your luck day (almost). I'm working on making D ABI compatible with Objective-C [1]. It's mostly done, I'm working on merging latest changes.

There are so many amazing new features coming along for D lately. :) Keep it up!

Wow, that is great news! Thanks for this awesome work. How does that relate to C++ on iOS? My apps are 99,8% C++ with some minimal Obj-C when necessary.

I knew about this, but thought it had been abandoned. Great to see that it's alive, this is an important development!

It's unrelated to C++.  D is currently ABI compatible with C++ and if that works on OS X (I assume it does) it should work on iOS too.
