Hi,
With helloworld program named with score or underscore, I
receive the following __annoying__ error:
$ gdmd-4.6 hola-temp.d
hola-temp.d: Error: module hola-temp has non-identifier
characters in filename, use module declaration instead
Why?
Can someone fix it. It's really annoying
Thanks in advance,
Xan.
All d module files (i.e. d source files) must be a valid
identifier.
See this document for what an identifier can contain:
http://dlang.org/lex.html#Identifier
Now, you *can* possibly name the module differently using a
module statement, but this is highly discouraged. If you do
this, the only way another module can import your
differently-named module is if you pass the file on the command
line.

But it's a messy limitation. Why we should have it? For C++
compatibilities?
Thanks,
