How would I use decoding for that? Isn't there a way to read the file as utf8

Well, apparently the utf-8-aware foreach loop still works just fine.
This program shows the file size and the number of unicode glyps, or whatever
they are called:
import core.stdc.stdio;
int main() @nogc
{
const int bufSize = 64000;
char[bufSize] buffer;
size_t bytesRead, count;
FILE* f = core.stdc.stdio.fopen("test.d", "r");
if (!f)
return 1;
bytesRead = fread(cast(void*)buffer, 1, bufSize, f);
if (bytesRead > bufSize - 1) {
printf("File is too big");
return 1;
}
if (!bytesRead)
return 2;
foreach (dchar d; buffer[0..bytesRead])
count++;
printf("read %d bytes, %d unicode characters\n", bytesRead, count);
fclose(f);
return 0;
}
Outputs for example this: read 838 bytes, 829 unicode characters
(It would be more complicated if it had to process bigger files.)
