Issue ID: 12894
Summary: Make extern(Windows) behave like extern(C) on
non-Windows systems
Product: D
Version: D1 & D2
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P1
Component: DMD
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Currently,
extern (Windows) int foo(int a, int b);
mangles on non-Windows systems as:
foo@16
This doesn't really make any sense or have any use. It is not compatible with
anything.
I propose changing it to behave like extern(C). This has the advantage that
there is significant C code out there that mangles with Windows on Windows and
otherwise C, and this will make these sorts of things easily compatible with D
declarations.
It will require recompiling of any non-Windows libraries that use
extern(Windows).
