Issue ID: 13758
Summary: RDMD renames directory if -ofNAME is the name of a
directory
Product: D
Version: D2
Hardware: All
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P1
Component: tools

-----
~/somedir $ mkdir foo
~/somedir $ echo asdf > foo/bar
~/somedir $ ls foo
> bar
~/somedir $ echo "void main() { }" > app.d
~/somedir $ rdmd -offoo app.d
~/somedir $ ls
app.d foo foo.635520880476161823-23425.old
-----
The "foo.hash.old" is the old folder which was renamed to make place for the
'foo' executable.
I don't think RDMD should have the power to move things around like that. It
should fail compilation if the output name would overwrite the directory, with
optionally providing a special switch for when you really need this behavior (I
don't see the point of the feature though..).
