# There are three D implementations, see
# <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D_(programming_language)#Implementations>
# <https://wiki.dlang.org/Compilers>
# <https://dub.pm/dub-reference/build_settings/#buildoptions>
# Although each has different possible options, a few options are accepted by
# all of the implementations: -c, -I, -g, -O.  Some essential options, however,
# are different:
#          gdc          ldc2                  dmd
#          ----------   -------------------   ------------
#          -oFILE       -of=FILE, --of=FILE   -of=FILE
#          -lLIBRARY    -L -lLIBRARY          -L=-lLIBRARY
#          -LDIR        -L -LDIR              -L=-LDIR
#          -Wl,OPTION   -L OPTION             -L=OPTION

# Checks for a D implementation.
# Sets DC and DFLAGS (options that can be used with "$DC").

  dnl On OpenBSD, gdc is called 'egdc' and works less well than dmd.
  dnl Like AC_CHECK_TOOLS([DC], [gdc ldc2 dmd egdc]) but check whether the
  dnl compiler can actually compile a trivial program. We may simplify this
  dnl once <https://savannah.gnu.org/support/index.php?111256> is implemented.
