The correct thing to do is to keep the original C function
signatures in the converted code, i.e. don't change char* to
string[]. And don't use anything from Phobos internally that
requires linking. In other words, treat your converted code as
C code in a D module as much as possible. Only when the
conversion is complete and everything is in D do you start
pulling in the D features.
I understand that, Mike. However if I'm not mistaken given
something in C like
char* strs[] = { "This", "is a", "test"};
AFAIK, even with -betterC and an extern (C), the literals will
still be understood by D as type "string", and there is no other
way around it, right?
I could put the array and the function in its own C file for the
time being, but instead chose to replace the toStringz by a small
hack: use memcpy to copy the string to a stack fixed, big enough
array and a NUL terminator.
