I have the following struct with i compile with -betterC into a 
static library.

```d
struct SubmitDesc {

     union {
         uint[4] viewport;
         struct {
             uint vpx;
             uint vpy;
             uint vpw;
             uint vph;
         }
     }

     union {
         float[4] clearColors;
         struct {
             float[4] clearColor0;
             // float[4] clearColor1;
             // float[4] clearColor2;
             // float[4] clearColor3;
         }
     }

     bool clearColorBuffer;
     bool clearDepthBuffer;
}
```

I compile another binary which dub does all automatically which 
is not -betterC where I try to use my static library and the 
strcut but I get a linker error all the time (Below.
Can somebody point me what I'm missing ?

Of course when I compile everything without -betterC it works 
just fine. Is the -betterC config not creating the equals, hash 
functions which are generated by D ?

```d
struct DrawPass {
     CommandList* commands;
     SubmitDesc submitDesc;
}

DrawPass mPassOpaque;

```

Hello Rikki,

Thanks for checking. Just to confirm so this means these 
functions are not generated therefore this is why I get the 
linker errors ?

Kind regards,
Max
