Well, as I'm new to D this isn't something I have insight into.
Then you'd probably be better off taking my word for it (or
even trusting your own limited experience where things worked
until you added the switch) and just not using -betterC switch.
It is hopelessly broken, but thankfully, it also brings zero
benefit, so simply not using it is a viable path forward.
I do take your word for it, but now I have to re-evaluate my
expectations towards D and perhaps use it for another project.
I've got most of my project working in C already, but I was
hoping to add some safety and better readability/managability by
using some of the convenient features D offers over C. And, of
course, learn D in the process. Also, your words give me the
impression that I cannot trust the documentation; which isn't a
great start into the learning process.
I mostly need interop with C libraries and D would only serve
as a glue, so I don't really need several features like GC etc.
Just don't call those functions and they won't hurt you, aside
from adding ~200 KB of size to the dll. On the other hand, the
-betterC switch is hurting you - as evidenced by your own
attempt working until you added it.
It can be evidence of something broken in D as you say
(simplified) or of my lack of experience with D - a simple
missing include, badly configured PATH, or lack of understanding
on my part what SimpleDllMain does.
