Hi Mike,

the arm-old branch has a new frontend version (2.064), the official
gdc-4.8 branch is at (2.063) but I'll push an update today.

Anyway, dmd 2.064 behaves the same way, it seems dmd 2.064 is pickier with object.d files. But what fixed it for me: Add a 'module object;'
line to your object.d file.

That was it. Thank you so much (I probably should have though of that myself).

My Minimal semihosted ARM Cortex-M Hello World is compiling with GDC and *executing* on my hardware. If feel silly saying so, but I'm so excited to see the words "hello" appear on my screen.

I'll update the D Wiki today with my code. Thanks everyone for the help.

Yes, it had to be something simple because library files are not different from other program files.

I was wondering about that. I couldn't tell if the library files received some extra treatment or not.


But then, what is the default module name of that file?

Yep, just added "module object;" at the top of object.d. I guess that's how it knows its the *real* object.d.

Gdc does not have a default search path and if I add -I. the current dir should be the search root.

I believe I have made false assumption that GDC looks in root "include" folder of my toolchain for .di files and the root "lib" folder for .a files. I may be jumping to conclusions.


Should the module name then default to the file name?
Is there a way to query and print the full module name at compile time?

Good questions, I'd like to know these myself. Iain? Johannes?
