Hi!

Simple test:
File "a.d" contained this:
---
module tst;

import std.stdio;

void main() {
    writeln("Hello world");
}
----

After compiling this file by "dmd a.d" I get executable with name "a".
After compiling by "ldc2 a.d" - executable with name "tst".

I do not know, who more right in this situation, but DMD is a "reference compiler" and his behavior "more correct", I think.

WBR,
    Fyodor.

Hi Fyodor!

ldc2 does not have the goal to be compatible in all aspects with dmd. So this behaviour is ok. But: ldmd2 is meant to be compatible with dmd. This tool has the same problem which is clearly a bug. Please create a bug report at https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/issues.

Kai

I'm wondering whether should fix this together with making -singleobj the default for executable builds, and any other, similar issues.

Done.
