          Issue ID: 23819
           Summary: defining your own interface IUnknown messes up vtable
                    without any warning
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Hardware: x86_64
                OS: Windows
            Status: NEW
          Severity: critical
          Priority: P1
         Component: dmd
          Assignee: nobody puremagic.com
          Reporter: puremagic zoadian.de

I've defined my own interface IUnknown, but IUnknown is somehow treated
specially and leads to hidden bugs (in my case a defect vtable) where the
compiler doesn't warn me that the calling convention is somehow changed to
extern(Windows).



https://run.dlang.io/is/YuouXd

class Test : IUnknown {
    void test() {}
}

interface IUnknown {
    void test();
}

void main() {   
    auto hm = new Test();
    hm.test();
}

vs 

https://run.dlang.io/is/nxRwN0

class Test : IUnknown_x {
    void test() {}
}

interface IUnknown_x {
    void test();
}

void main() {   
    auto hm = new Test();
    hm.test();
}
