Yes, that was my meaning.
Is the above pair (const GUID and static member) the right way

In the meantime I took a look at the VisualD project which accesses the

Probably just an implementation error, i.e. someone not fully

Why not defining them as const(GUID) and let the linker sort them out ?
Is there a recommended way to declare/define constants (e.g. as enums or
consts) ?
In C (separate compilation) they are declared as "EXTERN_C

core.sys.windows.*
I have some problems and maybe someone could give me a usage hint.
Have a look at the following (relatively meaningless) sample program
which demonstrates the problem.
IMHO the problem is t
