Description
Proposal: add a new switch similar to -mv in syntax, that renames a module in its mangling.
Benefit: it allows for multiple instances of a module be in a process, with minimal effort.
This is needed on Posix platforms, as each binary is not separated out at load time, all symbols intermix.
module perprocessregistration;
struct Thing;
void register(Thing);module perbinaryregistration;
import perprocessregistration;
shared static this() {
Thing[] things = ...; // get a list of things somehow that need registering
foreach(thing; things) {
register(thing);
}
}-mvm=perbinaryregistration=__somename1234
module someusage;
import perbinaryregistration;
void somethingToRegister(); // how this get to the module constructor in perbinaryregistration is unrelated to this ticket.It must not alter module lookup, only how that module gets mangled.
