It will generate the D main function in a separate module but later when you try to link via `dmd test.obj` you won't be linking with this module. The workaround is simple, pass -main while linking: ----- dmd -c -oftest.o -unittest test.d dmd -main test.o ./test ----- In the meantime allowing -c and -main in the same invocation should be disallowed. -- |

It will generate the D main function in a separate module but later when you try to link via `dmd test.obj` you won't be linking with this module. I think the module from -main is there when linking, but the one actually given on the command line is discarded/ignored/overwritten. Otherwise, linking should fail because of no main. But linking succeeds and produces a program that doesn't do anything. [...] > In the meantime allowing -c and -main in the same invocation should be disallowed. When -of is not given, -c and -main work acceptably together. dmd generates a __main.o for the main module. Only with -of do things get weird. I don't see how there would be some fundamental problem. dmd happily compiles multiple source files to one object file. So it should be able to add an empty main function to an object file without breaking the other code. -- |

Ah I thought this was only a feature of -lib. I forgot about the mix of -c and -of, otherwise it would indeed be separate object files. Then this issue is more perplexing. Probably best to see what's in the assembler output. :p -- |
