Place your attributes on the right hand side of the function, not the left side. Use the left side for attributes/type qualifiers that go on the return type. ```d bool[7] stagesToProcess = false; bool shouldDoInStages(int index) @nogc nothrow @safe { return stagesToProcess[index]; } bool

```c void SDL_GetVersion(SDL_version * ver); ``` It doesn't return anything. Its return type is void. See the argument list where it lists the types of the arguments: ``template writeln is not callable using argument types !()(string, void)`` Which aligns with the arguments you passed to ``wr

I wrote a "count newlines" based on mapped files. It used about twice the CPU of the version which just read 1 meg at a time. I thought something was amiss (needless slice indirection or something), so I wrote the code in C. It had the same CPU usage as the D version. So...mapped files, not
