           Summary: DMD calling linker over commandline
           Product: D

        OS/Version: Windows
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2

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.
