https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12894 Issue ID: 12894 Summary: Make extern(Windows) behave like extern(C) on non-Windows systems Product: D Version: D1 & D2 Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P1 Component: DMD Assignee: nobody puremagic.com Reporter: bugzilla digitalmars.com Currently, extern (Windows) int foo(int a, int b); mangles on non-Windows systems as: foo 16 This doesn't really make any sense or have any use. It is not compatible with anything. I propose changing it to behave like extern(C). This has the advantage that there is significant C code out there that mangles with Windows on Windows and otherwise C, and this will make these sorts of things easily compatible with D declarations. It will require recompiling of any non-Windows libraries that use extern(Windows). --
