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.

will be automatically removed.

So I guess this is my misunderstanding of "dmd -o-". No problem, then.
