Dude, you see, it doesn't say anything about it. It says a little about the extension, but there is no direct answer.
This is important because C Std is very dependent on the compiler and its extensions, for example msvc std c does not work with importC. So my question is, are there any implementations of the standard C library that importC supports?

So my question is, are there any implementations of the standard C library that importC supports? ImportC is not ready for general use yet. I’ve been reporting bugs that crop up when trying to use standard c headers, but I mostly use Linux and Macs so I haven’t reported any constructs it doesn’t understand on Windows. It’s supposed to be able to compile standard C11 code. If you run into one, report it at https://issues.dlang.org and use the ImportC keyword! | |||

It's a C compiler built into the D compiler. It only compiles C11 code without any headers (i.e. you can't use C standard library). In order to properly import C headers, you have to first preprocess a C file (with a C preprocessor not supplied by D), and then use the output from that to build with your D project. And in that case, you likely will find it probably doesn't work yet, since it's not a ready feature. I recommend instead just using D's hand-crafted bindings in -Steve | |||
