what is wrong with:

#!rdmd -O -inline
import std.stdio;
void main () { writeln("hi!"); }

???

hint: it starts with a "Win" and ends with a "dows".

so instead of windows users writing bugreports to their OS vendor, we should add completely useless code to the compiler. i somehow doesn't feel that this solution is actually solves anything.

I don't see why `rdmd` couldn't try to parse the file manually for shebangs and do something special on Windows. This could be an RDMD enhancement request.

I don't know I've never used rdmd at all. Idea is old: https://forum.dlang.org/post/dtlb84$1ibm$1@digitaldaemon.com

Under windows this pragma could allow to execute with "open with..." directly. (assuming -run is among the pragma args).

--- Comment #7 from Vladimir Panteleev <dlang-bugzilla@thecybershadow.net> ---
Giving the source code control over compiler behaviour is not desirable for the same reason why letting programs know (at compile time) which switches are active isn't. Many guarantees will no longer hold and debugging things reliably becomes more difficult in general.

Furthermore, a pragma is not a good place for this. Pragmas participate in semantics and can be emitted by CTFE.

Furthermore, compiler switches are heavily specific to the implementation. GDC and LDC each use different sets of switches - their compatibility layer with DMD switches comes as a stand-alone program.

Finally, this is a non-trivial change. The correct avenue for such a proposal would be a DIP.
