Issue ID: 23736
Summary: Do not override the "docs" directory without a warning
Product: D
Version: D2
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P1
Component: dmd
Assignee: [email protected]

I saved my documentation in a directory called "docs". When I tried to generate
documentation, the compiler override this directory. Thank god, I hadn't
written any serious documentation yet! Please, make it check if there is a
directory and then warn to use the `-Dd` option and then abandon. I used `dub`
with `ldc` btw but I suppose that this is a frontend thing.
And just to be safe and ahead of time, If someone tells me that "I should have
known that and be careful", First, there is no info (at least I wasn't able to
find it) about the default name of the directory that is created so I couldn't
have known that. And second, we are humans and we do mistakes and forget
things. And that's why we need tools that protect us.
