Does anyone know of an easy way to figure out how a runtime feature should be implemented from reference errors emited at compile time? I seem to be doing really well with compiling runtime free applications but when i need to implement a runtime feature theres not much info to work with. Like whats the compiler expecting? Function, class, pointer to something???? I could use the default runtime source for reference but how do i know what to look for?

There should be a section in the library reference about the compiler referencing system. In my opinion that would boost the useability of D in general by a LOT.

Any and all thoughts are welcome, thanks.

It's not a good way but you can remove the runtime and compile some code. If it uses a given part of the runtime it will result in a linker error. Then look up the missing function in the druntime source and see what it should be.
