I actually tried to compile my library with LDC a week or two ago, and got  
ICEd.

I would like to try LDC, so I'll probably give it a go next release. It  
looks like the runtime for LDC would need some work too though. In  
particular, it doesn't seem to support dynamic loading:

Yeah... I'm still trying to figure out how dmd exports, and decides when  
to export, functions.

In Martin's code, it looks like he's manually outputting assembly as  
bytecodes, but I was hoping for a simpler solution.

Ideally, I would like to copy this approach:
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/blob/c718790165c3124c61e510d8352b9cb9d8ae0198/src/mars.c#L228

Then, add some special cases to put the generated function into the right  
section and ensure the symbols are not exported.

Anyways, your Dconf presentation was helpful to explain a few things, so  
thanks for that =D
