I found a little interesting difference between ldc, dmd and
gdc today.
Summarized in ldc it does not allow you to have multiple extern
c'd function prototypes with different parameters but same
mangling aka name.
In dmd and gdc it compiles fine. I believe this is actually
wrong.
As c abi does not support overloading of functions, shouldn't
the compilers at the very least report a warning of this?

Could really use an answer to this.
Another person discovered this in the wild.
