I once found that D has a ImportC compiler. It can compile C
code.
How to use it?
I tried `dmd hello.c` but it didn't work. Instead,it did
nothing,and even didn't give me an error message.
I thought the compiler was broken but when I compile a normal
D file it can work.
I've also tried `dmd a.d b.c` and of course it didn't work
too.
Who knows why? I'm waiting for your answer.
Which D compiler, and version?
I used DMD 2.110.1 when compiling. Now I know it should be able
to compile C files.
2.110.1 does not exist. Where did you get this compiler from?
Make sure you only install official compilers.

When I use 2.111.0, it does work for me:
```
steves@homebuild:~$ dmd --version
DMD64 D Compiler v2.111.0

return 0;

steves@homebuild:~$ dmd hello.c
steves@homebuild:~$ echo $?
0
steves@homebuild:~$ ./hello
Hello World!
steves@homebuild:~$
