Hi all,
I finally got around to porting the druntime module registry
system we are using on the ELF-based Posixen to OS X. This allows
shared library support to work in a natural way.
There are still some minor additions to make (module conflict
detection, automatic library dependency tracking). But apart from
that, what I currently have passes the complete test suite, which
notably also includes runtime loading/unloading of D shared
libraries.
If you are keen to give it a try, you can get the code from
https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/pull/1705 and build with
"cmake -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON …".
I expect to land the feature in master by the end of August, but
until then, there are also some upstreaming considerations to
work out (it won't work out of the box with DMD, but for somebody
familiar with DMD's backend it would be trivial to make the
necessary adjustments).
