void printInternalFailure(FILE* stream);
Print DMD's logo with more debug information and error-reporting pointers.
Parameters:
FILE* stream output stream to print the information on
Module entrypoint;
DMD-generated module __entrypoint where the C main resides
Module rootHasMain;
Module in which the D main is
void genCmain(Scope* sc);
Generate C main() in response to seeing D main().
This function will generate a module called __entrypoint, and set the globals entrypoint and rootHasMain.
This used to be in druntime, but contained a reference to Dmain which didn't work when druntime was made into a dll and was linked to a program, such as a C++ program, that didn't have a Dmain.
Parameters:
Scope* sc Scope which triggered the generation of the C main, used to get the module where the D main is.
int main();
Entry point which forwards to tryMain.
Returns:
Return code of the application
void addDefaultVersionIdentifiers();
Add default version identifier for dmd, and set the target platform in global. https://dlang.org/spec/version.html#predefined-versions
Needs to be run after all arguments parsing (command line, DFLAGS environment variable and config file) in order to add final flags (such as X86_64 or the CRuntime used).
