Uncomment immutable if you want immutable and remove 'shared' if you
want multiple of this per thread (probably not).

/* immutable */ string[string] ctodtypes;

shared static this() {
    ctodtypes =
    [
        "void"      : "void",
        "uint32_t"  : "uint",
        "uint64_t"  : "ulong",
        "int32_t"   : "int",
        "int64_t"   : "long",
        "char"      : "char",
        "uint8_t"   : "ubyte",
        "size_t"    : "size_t",
        "float"     : "float"
     ];
}

void main() {
    ctodtypes["hello"] = "world";
}

Thanks

Silly question. Why is this necessary?

D cannot create associative arrays at compile time that can be used during runtime. You have to create them at runtime.

It could probably do effectively what is done above, however. Just nobody has made that enhancement.
