I think that's the last one before the move to GDC being written in D. Once you've made the bootstrap GDC, then move to the latest release (12.2) and you can continue moving forward with that as new releases are made. ~Brian

For some reason it produces this error: ```d error: static assert "Cannot put a const(char)[] into a char[]." ``` Is there a work around involving `.representation` as alluded to in this [thread](https://forum.dlang.org/post/zmehmpithifbgfuef...@forum.dlang.org) ? To get around the issue I built gdc-11.2 from source code at the GNU site but the old version of phobos is still included, so no dice. Build the latest gdc snapshot: https://mirrors.concertpass.com/gcc/snapshots/12-20220306/ ~Brian

The execve(2) is more explicit: "The argument argv is a pointer to a null-terminated array of character pointers to NUL-terminated character strings. These strings construct the argument list to be made available to the new process. At least one non-null argument must be present in the array; by custom, the first element should be the name of the executed program (for example, the last component of path)."
