Issue ID: 20627
Summary: Module ctors / dtors should always have D linkage
Product: D
Version: D2
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P1
Component: dmd
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
The following code:
```
module oops;
extern(C):
shared static this ()
{
// Do stuff
}
```
Will emit the shared module constructor as `_sharedStaticDtor_L4_C1`.
Should another module have a similar definition, those functions would
conflict.
There is no reason for module constructors / destructors to have C linkage, and
its potential for symbol conflict means it should be deprecated.
