Dear community,
I want to create a library which is usable from C and D.
D should be a first class citizen and C because of FFI for
other languages.
The lib is compiled with -betterC
Because C does not have namespaces i want to add the prefix of
the lib like "leogfx" but in D i don't want that because we
don't need this.
extern(C):
private {
bool pInit() {
return true;
}
}
pragma mangle modifies how the symbol name will appear to the
linker.
```d
pragma(mangle, "leogfx_init")
bool pInit() {
...
}
```
additionally IIRC you can even loop it on itself to self modify
it, at least I remember doing something like this to keep its
name consistent on code refactoring.
```d
pragma(mangle, "leogfx_" ~ __traits(identifier, pInit))
bool pInit() {
...
}
```
