Module rootHasMain;
Module in which the D main is
struct Compiler;
A data structure that describes a back-end compiler and implements compiler-specific actions.
static Expression paintAsType(UnionExp* pue, Expression e, Type type);
Encode the given expression, which is assumed to be an rvalue literal as another type for use in CTFE. This corresponds roughly to the idiom *(Type *)&e.
static void loadModule(Module m);
For the given module, perform any post parsing analysis. Certain compiler backends (ie: GDC) have special placeholder modules whose source are empty, but code gets injected immediately after loading.
static bool onImport(Module m);
A callback function that is called once an imported module is parsed. If the callback returns true, then it tells the frontend that the driver intends on compiling the import.
