When upgrading my compiler from 2.065 to 2.066.1 I have
encountered problems with some of my extern(C) code.
My declarations (in a .di file) are wrapped in an extern(C)
declaration. The code compiled fine in 2.065. In 2.066.1 it
first complained about functions returning "const char *"
("function without this cannot be const").
const char* foo() {}
is a function that takes a const 'this' reference and returns
char*
You want
const(char)* foo() {}
or
const(char*) foo() {}
If you do want a const 'this' then you should write:
char* foo() const {}
