It rather tries to interpret the C code as D code.
It's not a full C compiler rather it's a shim in front of the D
frontend.
Therefore bugs like the above can happen if the compiler wasn't
aware that the function identifier was to be interpreted in "C
context"
I also think that Stefan is right here. If we check the spec page
for [ImportC](https://dlang.org/spec/importc.html), in the 2nd
note, first sentence, it says: "ImportC is a C compiler embedded
into the D implementation". To me that seems that it is a full C
compiler that treats the syntax as C and creates files that can
be linked with D.
