           Summary: extern (System) not documented
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: websites
        AssignedTo: nobody puremagic.com
        ReportedBy: cruxic gmail.com



Please immediately close this issue if I am mistaken.

I did a Google site search for:

  extern System site:www.digitalmars.com

and

  extern System site:www.digitalmars.com

Neither of these had hits in the formal documentation, only mailinglists.  I
suggest it be documented on the "Interfacing to C" page
(http://www.d-programming-language.org/interfaceToC.html)

I'd be glad to make this enhancement if you like.

The extern(System) attribute is briefly defined in:
http://dlang.org/attribute.html#linkage

The relevant part of the paragraph is: "System is the same as Windows on
Windows platforms, and C on other platforms."

Although brief, it correctly specifies the meaning of that attribute. I'm
closing this bug report, but if you disagree, please reopen.
