digitalmars.D - page size in druntime is a mess

reply deadalnix <deadalnix gmail.com> writes:
Page size in druntime is sometime a constant (4Kb), sometime calculated, 
often assumed to be a compile time constant.

druntime should define a proper, authoritative, place to calculate that 
page size, and then use the page calculated here.

I did some tests today, and it require quite a lot of changes. But it is 
mandatory to run D on any system where the page size isn't 4Kb.

So first question, where this should be calculated ? In core.memory ?

rt.memory possibly. That or core.memory.=20=

I do have a patch for that, but I have no clue where GetSystemInfo is defined (grep didn't helped me much here) so it will not work on windows. Additionnaly, I don't have a windows machine.

Err, is it defined at all...? -- - Alex

DMD doesn't seem to have any magic for it, so I can't imagine that it's being used at all... -- - Alex
