But I'd like to know what GDC's long term plans are to enable
removing dead code from executables.
(1) Adding a D-specific linker script in GDC that gets
automagically passed to the linker?
(2) Adding a D-specific linker script to binutils?
(3) LTO in GCC/binutils?
(2) sounds a little weird, but I got the impression from
discussion [1] that that was part of the plan. I don't
understand why binutils should have to know about D's codegen,
but there's a lot of things I don't understand.
Anyway, please let me know what the plan is, and if there is
anything I might be able to do to move it forward.
Mike
