One somewhat weird issue that we may have to face at some point is that
Posix functions whose behavior was changed have had the symbol for the
new function changed to _blah$UNIX2003, with the old function left in
place. Since D can't declare symbols like this, we may end up having to
add shims in C or post-process object files if it turns out that the old
implementation of a function isn't sufficient. I'd love to hear of a
better solution here.
extern(C) void __identifier("blah$UNIX2003")(int);
That would be awesome.
A beneficial side-effect is that I can finally get rid of all those
mixins that are just doing this:
mixin(`void `~name_of_fn~`(int a)
{
// ... rest of function ...
}`);
I had absolutely no idea that this could be used to generate symbol
names that are illegal in D.
