Run the linker.

Parameters:

bool `verbose`	print command to be executed
ErrorSink `eSink`	message sink

Returns:

status of execution. STATUS_FAILED if failed for other reasons

int runProgram(const char[] exefile, const char*[] runargs, bool verbose, ErrorSink eSink);

Run the compiled program.

Parameters:

char[] `exefile`	program name
char*[] `runargs`	arguments to exefile
bool `verbose`	print command to be executed
ErrorSink `eSink`	message sink

Returns:

exit status

int runPreprocessor(const ref Loc loc, const(char)[] cpp, const(char)[] filename, const(char)* importc_h, ref Array!(const(char)*) cppswitches, bool verbose, ErrorSink eSink, ref OutBuffer defines, out DArray!ubyte text);

Run the C preprocessor.

Parameters:

Loc `loc`	source location where preprocess is requested from
const(char)[] `cpp`	name of C preprocessor program
const(char)[] `filename`	C source file name
const(char)* `importc_h`	filename of importc.h
Array!(const(char)*) `cppswitches`	array of switches to pass to C preprocessor
bool `verbose`	print progress to eSink
ErrorSink `eSink`	for verbose messages and error messages
OutBuffer `defines`	buffer to append any #define and #undef lines encountered to
DArray!ubyte `text`	set to preprocessed text

Returns:

error status, 0 for success

void parseLinkerOutput(const(char)[] linkerOutput, ErrorSink eSink);

Translate linker output to more user-friendly error messages, by extracting mangled symbols and demangling them

Parameters:

const(char)[] `linkerOutput`	text that the linker printed
ErrorSink `eSink`	sink for translated errors
