I'm relearning D. I'm using the reference compiler (DMD) and I
am a bit confused with how the compiler 'switches' are supposed
to be used.
I find some 'switches' that require an equal (=) symbol when a
value is required to be passed in.
-boundscheck=[on|safeonly|off]
-color[=on|off]
-conf=path
-debug
-debug=level
-debug=ident
But there are also 'switches' requiring a value that do not
require/use the equal (=) symbol.
-Dddocdir
-Dffilename
-odobjdir
-offilename
I'm wondering if this small irregularity should be made
consistent or maybe I misunderstood something.
Yeah, it is a bit confusing and should be tidied up (using the
established deprecation path) really.
