Hi Everyone,

Is there a list of functions and data structures, the D-Compiler would expect from a custom runtime?

Here's a list [1]. It's probably not complete but it's a start. It's best to look at the source code of the existing runtime.

You may be interested in watching http://dconf.org/2014/talks/franklin.html and reading https://www.packtpub.com/application-development/d-cookbook - both explain in details what was necessary to create a minimal runtime for barebone binary. It is not a fully-featured runtime though so actual answer may depend on your goals - you don't need to implement language features you are not going to use.

I think Adam's book and work from others like that DConf talk show that there's a lot of potential for implementing lighter runtimes for using in embedded code, kernels etc. I've considered playing around with it myself for writing effectively C libraries instead in D which don't require the runtime. (Further to the "Better C" idea.) I'm not sure how practical such a thing would be, but praticality is rarely a concern in projects I work on just for fun, until it turns out to actually be useful.

Use the source, Luke!
