Every time I compile a D code, an .obj file is generated. Is there any to prevent that? I tried "dmd -o- hello.d". Indeed there's no obj file. And no executable, too. Maybe this is a bug?

If you don't want object files to be generated (actually they must be generated in order for linker to build exe) compile with rdmd (it will put object files in a temp directory so your project folder is kept clean): rdmd --build-only (dmd parameter here) main.d also rdmd will take care of your dependencies so you just have to pass it your "main" file.

Actually what I mean is once the compilation is done, the object file will be automatically removed. So I guess this is my misunderstanding of "dmd -o-". No problem, then.
