So far I am having fun gradually pushing D into apple ios sim (it runs i386 not arm). I am curious though about thread local storage and GC. I saw older posts about it being an issue and have not seen anything more on it. Is it still an issue? I am doing all this with latest D git and gcc-4.8-20121028 snapshot.
What I gather is that D TLS vars are not monitored by the collector so memory can be prematurely collected. Is that right? Anyway, so far it is fun to see D code being linked into an ios app (i386 sim again) and running, making phobos calls. I build .o or .a files outside of xcode then drag them in along with libgphobos2. I figure if you can call writeln() and see it come out on the xcode gdb console, then that is progress. Well, to me anyway. -- dano
