Bug 15374 – [internal] Nothing should import ddmd.mars

These modules all import ddmd.mars. ddmd.attrib ddmd.cond ddmd.dimport ddmd.doc ddmd.expression ddmd.func ddmd.hdrgen Because these four functions are defined there: readFile writeFile ensurePathToNameExists escapePath As ddmd.mars is the main function, nothing should be importing it. These helper/utility functions should either be moved elsewhere or put in it's own module. This is a foreseeable blocker for switching to the new D frontend, as the main function is defined elsewhere in GDC, possibly LDC too?

Yep, we (LDC) define our own main() too.

Thanks for clarifying, Raised PR here. Feel free to direct your opinion on how things should be handled. https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/pull/5282

Only ddmd.func remains in the original list. Need to find a new home for genCmain.
