digitalmars.D - How to link phobos funcs w/o full library?

I have my own library, say BestPrintfLib. :) It's windows executable so I call
manually gc_init(), _moduleCtor() and so on. And I have my own "printf" function
which of course conflicts with existing one in phobos. I _MUST_NOT_ rename
function, this is requirement. Question: Can I link to my project only USED
standard functions? Or may be there is way to create windows program with
garbage collector but w/o using phobos?

You will have to the portions of Phobos that conflict with your code.
Alternately, you should be able to use Ares:

I'd like to use Ares, but I'm still unsure how to use it .  Do I still need
phobos for std.string / std.math functions etc ?  What is library_spec
describing , changes to phobos' types ?  Some examples and maybe a tutorial
would go a long way :).

Sorry about that :-)  At the moment, Ares contains very little beyond but what
is essential to run a D application.  So anything you use from the 'std' portion
of Phobos is likely not present.  Once I get the next release out I'll work on a
short tutorial of how to use Ares.  And ignore the library_spec file for
now--it's nearly empty and long out of date.  I'm waiting for DMD's built-in
code documenter before I do any more on that end.

I've fleshed out the readme in this release.  It now contains a bit more
information on what everything is and how to install and build against the Ares
library.  If there's any more information you think would be useful, please let
me know.  Documentation isn't my strong suit :)

Sorry, Sean, I'm not so good in English. What you mean "portions"?
In my code I import nothing from Phobos except init/finish functions (I import
those manually). But when I link my OBJ I get error about conflict. What I need
to do?

I left out a word by mistake.  I meant "remove the portions of Phobos that
conflict."  Delete references to those objects files in win32.mak or linux.mak.

OK, as I understood I need to RECOMPILE Phobos w/o object files, which conflicts
with my own. Right?

Question 2: Is there some priority mechanism to solve "duplicates" conflict? For
example, first resolve all symbols thru LIB1, and all unreferenced symbols thru
LIB2?

Not that I'm aware of, but such a mechanism wouldn't work with Phobos anyway, as
Phobos is implicitly linked to all D programs by DMD.  If such a mechanism were
in place, it would always find the symbols from Phobos before it searched your
library.
