As the topic says:

Is there an equivalent to C++'s explicit keyword in D?

No, because all constructors are explicit in D.

Oh... then I guess I'll have to manually insert the explicit casts where C++ is doing implicit casts when calling constructors(God help me D: )

Worth noting that in the specific case of variable initialization, you do not have to write out the constructor call directly:

struct S
{
    this(int n) {}
}

void example()
{
    auto a = S(123); // this calls the constructor
    S b = 456; // so does this
}

Yeah I know that OpAssign basically isn't invoked during initialization.

S a = 5;

Gets rewritten as:

S a(5);

Thank you for your time!

You don't have to, here is a binding generator with code conversion, even if it produces junk you can just copy paste relevant code.

I've definitely been keeping an eye on your project since you mentioned it the last time.

Good to know I can use it for this purpose :D
