Bug 5782 – Few things about rdmd

Four things about rdmd build 20100913 (the one present in DMD 2.052). I am not sure Bugzilla is the right place for this. ------------------- 1) If I give rdmd the name of a file that's not D code, I don't receive any error: rdmd foo.exe ------------------- 2) This line of the rdmd help contains a char that's not normally visible in the Windows shell: --eval=code evaluate code +á la perl -e (multiple --eval allowed) I suggest to replace it with something like: --eval=code evaluate code as in perl -e (multiple --eval allowed) ------------------- 3) If I compile and run a normal little D program (here just a HelloWorld), sometimes it asks me to hit enter after the program run, and sometimes it doesn't require it: C:\>rdmd hello.d HelloWorld! C:\>rdmd hello.d C:\>HelloWorld! ------------------- 4) Sometimes rdmd leaves in the directory a map file like: hello-d-C8F5A6BF039D650FD686DCFB9B208F94.map

Re #2: FWIW, on my Windows machine, I get a text-mode-line-drawing symbol followed by an accented 'a'. But I agree, "as in" would be better. Re #3: This already has a bug report and patch: issue 4688

As Nick said, filed as a separate bug that's presently fixed. > 4) Sometimes rdmd leaves in the directory a map file like: > > hello-d-C8F5A6BF039D650FD686DCFB9B208F94.map I believe this is fixed as well.
