How can the compiler know which symbol is which symbol if
everything has the same name?
Standard practice is to capitalise type names and camelCase
variable names.
The C# compiler has no trouble understanding code like that, so I
Why is it not allowed for a variable name to match a type name?
The following example fails with "Error: variable foo conflicts
with struct foo"
struct foo {}
foo foo;

Although maybe you ought to start out with regular D.
-betterC is really there for those who want D but can't have
druntime.
They should already know D pretty well.
I'm using -betterC on purpose, doing bare-metal

It has nothing to do with structs.
Oh I see, simply removing 'new' solves the problem. I've a C#
background, so I hadn't thought of doing that. Thanks!
https://dlang.org/spec/betterc.html doesn't mention struct
constructors not working, but I'm getting linker errors when
trying to call a struct constructor.
Consider the following program betterc.d
struct foo
{
}
extern(C) void main()
{
auto bar = new foo();
}
After writing a bootloader and getting it to jump to a Hello
World kernel written in assembly, I want to give it a go with a
kernel written in D. I'm using GDC because I didn't have much
luck with making DMD skip the D runtime and standard libs.
Starting with this code:
void main() { }
