Ahem... I found a bit of time to stop loitering around and try the alpha
compiler out. This is how far I got:

---
C:\dm\samples\d>dmd -IC:\dm\src\phobos hello.d
D ALPHA Experimental release
www.digitalmars.com
C:\dm\src\phobos\object.d(2): printf symbol object.printf conflicts with
Object.printf at C:\dm\src\phobos\Object.d(2)
---

Salutaciones,
                         JCAB

Try this:



int main(char[][] args)
{
    printf("hello world\n");
    printf("args.length = %d\n", args.length);
    for (int i = 0; i < args.length; i++)
 printf("args[%d] = '%s'\n", i, (char *)args[i]);
    return 0;
}

   That's what "hello.d" contains. But it also has the following at the
beginning:

---
import Object;
import c.stdio;
---

   which is indeed the problem. If I comment those two out, it works. I
suggest you include this fix for the next release.

   So, what's happening? Is it automatically importing those, wether you
want them or not? :-P

I've been rewriting object.d and stdio.d. -Walter

   So? What has the one thing to do with the other? Am I missing a point
here?

   :-P

It has everything to do with the error message you got, that printf() was
defined in both modules.

I have similar problems.  I just downloaded the latest alpha and have these conflict messages running the sample code.

   But the conflict was between object.printf and Object.printf! c.stdio had
nothing to do with it, AFAICS. And that does sound to me like a bug of some
kind...

   And if I remove both imports, it seems to be able to find printf
anyway... magically... Is that normal?

   My guess is that the compiler "introduces" an "import object;" statement
before the source code begins. Then, the sample has a "import Object;"
statement up top, and thus the problem: the same module is read twice.
