If I understand the question correctly, you are looking for 
std.file.thisExePath:

- https://dlang.org/phobos/std_file.html#thisExePath

Also, the first element in the array passed to main is the name of the
executable.

No, what's passed to "main" is the path to however the application was 
invoked, not the executable. If you invoke it as "./foo" it will pass 
"./foo" to the "main" function. If you invoke it as "/usr/local/bin/foo" 
it will pass "/usr/local/bin/foo" to the "main" function. That's at 
least how it works on macOS.

"thisExePath" will give you the full path to the executable regardless 
how if it was invoked. It will resolve symlinks as well.

So it depends on what's needed. "name of application" is a bit diffuse 
statement.

The name of an application is not a compile time constant: you 
can rename the executable at any time. Like Rémy said, 
thisExePath.baseName will get you the name at run time.

You can get it using $DUB_PACKAGE from Environment variables 
(https://dub.pm/package-format-sdl), for example using preBuildCommands 
you can generate a module and define the constant you need there.

Dear Andrey:

Perhaps this is similar to what you are looking for:

https://dlang.org/spec/grammar.html#SpecialKeyword

SpecialKeyword:
     __FILE__
     __FILE_FULL_PATH__
     __MODULE__
     __LINE__
     __FUNCTION__
     __PRETTY_FUNCTION__


These are available at compile time.  Kind regards.
