          Issue ID: 22268
           Summary: rdmd does not track dependencies properly for
                    --extra-file
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Hardware: x86_64
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: P1
         Component: dmd
          Assignee: nobody puremagic.com
          Reporter: deadalnix gmail.com

$ rdmd -m64 -Isrc -w -debug -g -unittest -i --extra-file=src/module1.d
--extra-file=src/module2.d --eval="/* Do nothing */"

This run, while properly running the unittests in the proper modules, will
generate a faulty dependency file that only contain standard library and
druntime stuff.

The same happens when using a module instead an --eval, in which case, only the
dependency of that module are tracked properly, and the dependencies of the
modules added via --extra-file remain untracked.

This is a major issue as it leads rdmd to reuse cache entries when it shouldn't
and run outdated code.
