Function dmd.compiler.Compiler.genCmain

Generate C main() in response to seeing D main().

static extern(C++) void genCmain (
  dmd.dscope.Scope* sc
);

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

NameDescription
sc Scope which triggered the generation of the C main, used to get the module where the D main is.
