I've looked and it appears to be in rt/dmain2.d . Great to know that my main() function isn't the first function called, this explains a lot for me. It looks like what I need is a function with the signature extern (C) int main(int argc, char** argv) which initializes the garbage collector etc. To compile it I would need a function with signature "_Dmodule_ref" What is this and where does it come from? (Got this information from http://www.mail-archive.com/digitalmars-d@puremagic.com/msg89241.html) I'm trying to compile my file with only extern (C) int main with -defaultlib=none and -debuglib=none but the resulting executable is 31 kb so I'm pretty sure druntime is still beeing mixed in.
