digitalmars.D - Sooo, umm, status of Optlink Issue #6144?

Regarding the blocker "Unexpected OPTLINK Termination at EIP=00428DA3":
http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=6144

I'm hitting on that issue now too, and it's a royal PITA since I can't
even get stack traces, there's no obvious way to de-trigger the
problem and the problem is known to resist minimized test cases.

So what's the current status of it (which I ask hoping the answer is
something like "a top priority being actively worked on")?

More importantly, is there any info/files/etc I can provide to help
out, or is everything needed already known and merely awaiting a fix
from anyone who knows much more about optlink than I do?

Denis Shelomovskij has a pull request for optlink on it:

https://github.com/DigitalMars/optlink/pull/8

You can give that a try. My main difficulty with it is it's a hack. But if it 
works for you, that might be good enough.

I think that's a good step. And let's not forget that bugs etc. can 
always be reopened.

If you are not interesting in developing OPTLINK but want to live 
without Issue 6144, email me (on this address or without ".reg" suffix) 
and I'll send you fixed OPTLINK.


If you want to be able to build OPTLINK (I mean without dmc) you need 


6144, but not probably existed underlying OPTLINK bug which I hope will 
not cause problems in near future (looks like Walter is against such 
solution so don't expect it to be merged [soon]).

To make things easier use "patched" branch from my fork with everything 
merged:
https://github.com/denis-sh/optlink/tree/patched

Do not forget: you also need `imagecfg` [1] and prepend 
`build_optlink.bat` with something like this:
---
set DM=D:\D\dm
set PATH=%DM%\bin;%PATH%
---

Hi,

It looks like the web interface to the NG doesn't show email 
addresses (good thing), so I'm posting here instead of mailing 
you. I'd greatly appreciate it if you could send me the fixed 
binary. The address I'm using for this post is valid.

Denis, I have neglected to thank you for your help with this, and your 
willingness to help others. Thanks! I really do appreciate it.

First of all, thanks for the thanks.

But I have to say I see the only one reason for it here. It is "Wow, 
that nasty person who used to insult everybody just did something 
useful. Lets say "Thanks" hoping he will like it and begin being useful".

So I'd like, if you don't mind, to redirect the "Thanks" to the (really 
time wasting and useful in a context of recent "shared library" talks 
and changes) fact I fixed TLS loading on Windows XP (yes, just finished 
what Rainer started) thus allowing languages like D to load/unload DLL-s 
dynamically.

You've been doing valuable stuff all along. It's why we put up with you :-)

I would, however, prefer that when you fire a broadside that you direct it at
me 
rather than others here.

This is great news. Can you point me to the pull req on that?

No pulls, it isn't a part of druntime. It can be but only in the case 
executable is compiled. For D DLL it have to be loaded before the DLL 
and must not be unloaded until process termination.

NG post notes:
* replace `snn.dll` with `snn.lib`
* according the injector, regressions are easily fought but Issue 9044 
prevented it from being able to build

Walter Bright properly fixed the issue. See 
http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=6144#c15 for the fix and 
fixed OPTLINK build.

Hooray!
I had the same problem in a recent project [1] and can confirm 
now the linker doesn't crash anymore.
