I have some code that i would like executed before anything else
is.
The code is to set an environment variable which is used by a
library. I'm trying to find some way to avoid setting the
environment variable on the command line, or in any shell script
or initialization file.
I think the place to put such code would be in a 'static this'
inside a module.
So i need some way to force my module to be initialized first,
ahead of all others.
I suppose if i could figure out a way to make all other modules
depend on my module this would happen, but the module which uses
the variable i want to set is in some already-compiled dynamic
library that i would prefer not to touch.
Alternatively, is there some entry point besides main that i
could use, that executes before main and before any module
initialization is done? (Is it possible to get in before the d
runtime starts?) Although i would prefer to code in d, it would
be ok to do it in c.
This is on MacOS (Catalina) in case that makes a difference, and
i'm using dmd v2.104.0.
Thanks in advance for any clues.
