Please immediately close this issue if I am mistaken. I did a Google site search for: extern System site:www.digitalmars.com and extern System site:www.digitalmars.com Neither of these had hits in the formal documentation, only mailinglists. I suggest it be documented on the "Interfacing to C" page (http://www.d-programming-language.org/interfaceToC.html) I'd be glad to make this enhancement if you like.

Correction: My second site search was against www.d-programming-language.org

The extern(System) attribute is briefly defined in: http://dlang.org/attribute.html#linkage The relevant part of the paragraph is: "System is the same as Windows on Windows platforms, and C on other platforms." Although brief, it correctly specifies the meaning of that attribute. I'm closing this bug report, but if you disagree, please reopen.
