http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=1842 Summary: Useless linker command line output during compilation on Linux Product: D Version: unspecified Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: DMD AssignedTo: bugzilla digitalmars.com ReportedBy: andrei metalanguage.com When compiling with dmd on linux, the linker command line is output, e.g.: $ dmd test gcc test.o -o test -m32 -Xlinker -L/home/andrei/d/dmd/bin/../lib -lphobos2 -lpthread -lm $ _ The compiler should only output the linker command in case that failed. Normal linking should issue no message. This has to do with a principle of Unix: silence is golden. Here's the relevant excerpt from a great book (The Art of Unix Programming by Eric Raymond). It's a short and excellent read: http://www.faqs.org/docs/artu/ch11s09.html Andrei --
