digitalmars.D - Manually linking druntime and phobos2

reply Michel Fortin <michel.fortin michelf.com> writes:
When manually calling the linker, which libraries should be linked with 
a d object file? If I run dmd with the -v option on Mac OS X, I notice 
dmd issues the following linker command:

gcc test.o -o test -m32 -Xlinker 
-L/Library/Compilers/dmd2/osx/bin/../lib -lphobos2 -lpthread -lm

which includes library phobos2 but not druntime. I've made D for Xcode 
link both phobos2 and druntime in the final executable; this cause no 
problem on Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) but I have a user on 10.5 
(Leopard) who gets duplicate symbols in druntime and phobos2 because of 
this.

So now I wonder, is druntime included into the phobos2 library? Is this 
how it should be?

It seems that at least parts of druntime gets included in the Phobos library. Here is the line (200) from the Phobos makefile that builds the file libphobos2.a: $(DMD) $(DFLAGS) -lib -of$ $(DRUNTIME) $(D_FILES) $(OBJS) The variable $(DRUNTIME) contains the path to libdruntime.a. If it is removed, Phobos still compiles just fine, so I suspect it shouldn't be there. -Lars

If it's not there, you should linkk the final program agains both libraries. The way it is now is like phobos2 included all druntime's .o files on it. I remember some discussion about this (joining phobos and druntime in the same lib) a while ago... -- Leandro Lucarella (AKA luca) http://llucax.com.ar/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- GPG Key: 5F5A8D05 (F8CD F9A7 BF00 5431 4145 104C 949E BFB6 5F5A 8D05) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ¿Cómo estais? ¿Cómo os senteis hoy 29 del membre de 1961 día en que conmemoreramos la nonésima setima nebulización del martir Peperino Pómoro junto al Rolo Puente en la ciudad de Jadad? -- Peperino Pómoro

This is what happens. How should it be? Does it matter? Everything is linked statically anyways. If it was a dynamic lib, then we need to address it. What I find odd is that libdruntime.a is in the lib subdir even though it's never used. -Steve

This is largely a historical artifact, though I do still sometimes link druntime explicitly to test without Phobos.

AFAIK, the libdruntime.a in the <arch>/lib dir is unused, and probably is not tested on releases, so it would be a good idea not to include it. -Steve
