Hi,
When I use earcutd [1] in an ordinary D project, I get a link 
error for the __D7earcutd12__ModuleInfoZ symbol. This is 
because the earcutd dub.json has `"dflags": ["-betterC"]`. I 
think this is in error, my understanding of betterC code is 
that it can be compiled with "-betterC", but does not need to 
(and must not when used in D context).

Am I right? What are the best practices for betterC dub 
packages?

Thanks,
Bastiaan.

Dear Bastiaaan,

I am not an expert in dub system, but I have just pushed a 
modification in dub.json. I am not sure if it solves your 
problem. My modification is

    "configurations": [
        {
            "name": "default",
            "targetType": "library"
        },
        {
            "name": "betterC",
            "targetType": "library",
            "dflags": ["-betterC"]
        }
    ]

now client projects must explicitly pass the subConfiguration 
parameter to compile it with betterC.
