I'm currently back on dll support and I'm applying finishing touches to
my dll support PR. Now I want to know if I missed any corner cases and
it would be great if a few more people gave the dll support a try.
-To try it out you will need to build dmd, druntime and phobos yourself.
I'm not going to provide a binary distribution.
-You will need to target the microsoft linker. E.g. either use -m64 or
-m32mscoff when compiling your programs.
-be warned, the state of the dll support is not final and subject to
change. There is no garantuee that there won't be any breaking changes
to dll support.
You can find a quick start guide here:

If you need more information and examples take a look here:

Not all of phobos/druntime has correct export annotations yet as this is
not the goal of my initial pull request. If you use a function from
druntime/phobos that does not have a correct export annotation you will
get a linker error. I'm not interrested in those. I'm interrested in
cases where export is correctly used and you will still get linker
errors / incorrect program behavior. So if you encounter a linker error
first check if the declaration has a export annotation or not. Try
adding it and see if the error goes away. If it does not go away, report
it here or send me an e-mail to code at benjamin-thaut.de
If you find anything, small repro cases would be appreciated as it makes
my life a lot easier.
