While I am generally very impressed with DICE there are a few things which I
find annoying.
When I use the -a or -c options the .o or .a files are put in t:,
not in the current directory where I want them. I could use -o to
redirect the output but the current directory should be the default.
After compiling the executable is in the current directory but the .o
file is left in t: Since this is on the ram disk I slowly lose memory
unless I clear it out after each compile.
DICE uses huge amounts of memory. While having the entire file in memory
is great if there's space it should be able to read it from disk if not.
With just over 250K free I expect to be able to compile a 1138 byte
program without running out of memory!
DMake should look for Makefile if DMakefile doesn't exist.
It would be nice if dcpp could understand Lattices compressed header
files (just add a few more tokens in the parser?) They speed compiles
up something wonderful.
