is there? if so, where is it? Also, I see dmd is written in C++ but still uses C style to do stuff eg, printf() instead of cout. Is this why C++ libraries can increase a lot size (and performance?) of executable which current style don't?
There are no formal rules that I'm aware of (unless somebody added them to the wiki) but the (frontend) code is fairly consistent.
The C-ish style is mostly due to age and Walter's preferences. This has turned out to be a huge advantage as it makes conversion to D much easier than C++-style code with heavy stl usage etc.
