why we have Dmain.
I've been looking at the generated assembly code recently and
noticed the _Dmain function. I didn't notice it before. Then
there is main, where Dmain is called.
Why is that?
in addition to the other answers, there's also the parameters of
main:
int argc, char** argv
becomes
string[]
so with the D main you're directly in the the D "domain". In
theory from that point, you don't need to ever use `strlen` for
example.
