digitalmars.D - D runtime in os x dylib

There seems to be a problem with starting the d runtime in a d 
dylib loaded in a c program. Whenever I call Runtime.initialize() 
i get a segfault.

C code:

     #include <stdio.h>
     #include <dlfcn.h>

     int main() {
         void *library;
         int (*fptr)();
         library = dlopen("testlib.dylib", RTLD_LAZY);
         if(library == NULL)
             puts("couldn't load the library");
         else {
             *(void **)(&fptr) = dlsym(library,"number");
             if(fptr == NULL) {
    	        puts("couldn't load function");
             }
             else {
                 printf("the result is %d\n",(*fptr)());
             }
         }
         return(0);
     }

compiled with gcc, no flags.

d code:

     import core.runtime;

     extern(C) int number() {
     	Runtime.initialize();
     	return(4);
     }

compiled with dmd -shared

Backtrace:

     Program received signal EXC_BAD_ACCESS, Could not access 
memory.

All compilation and debugging done in OS X 10.7

Note: if the Runtime.initialize(); line is commented out, the 
library is loaded and runs correctly.

Dynamic libraries aren't properly working yet. It's being worked on. -- /Jacob Carlborg

I see that now, managed to dig up some old bug reports and threads. Is there any timeframe for this or is it on the back burner so to speak?

I'm not sure of the time frame for this but Martin Nowak is working on this: https://github.com/dawgfoto/druntime/commits/SharedRuntime -- /Jacob Carlborg

abandon os x for development at least for the near future.

I'm not entirely sure but maybe you're having this problem: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=7995 Pull the latest source code from github and try that if you're using a release. -- /Jacob Carlborg

sorry, my mistake, i replaced the wrong dmd file. It compiles fine with the up to date dmd.

Yes, it appears the bug is fixed in the current druntime. Thanks for your help.

Right, it looks like that bug. Statically linking phobos into a dylib should work otherwise.
