Bug ID: 103728
Summary: Allow to run unittests before main()
Product: gcc
Version: 12.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: d
Assignee: ibuclaw at gdcproject dot org
Reporter: pierrick.bouvier at posteo dot net
Target Milestone: ---
With gdc-12, semantic of unittests will change to match dmd behavior.
So far (<= gdc-11), option -funittest could be used to:
- compile unittest
- automatically run them before main
>From gdc-12, semantic will be:
- compile unittest
- only run them
For users using dub (test), it may sound like the good choice. But for all
others (we use meson), this change is really a burden.

>From this post:
https://forum.dlang.org/thread/jrnyklhuqadormjme...@forum.dlang.org
someone suggested to use this:
version (unittest) extern(C) __gshared string[] rt_options = [
"testmode=run-main" ];
It works well with gdc-12, but it is very cryptic and still hard to add in all
our binaries (we have dozens).

Would you consider to add an option -funittest-and-run-main (or similar), to
allow for that thanks to a compiler switch?
Thanks for your hard work on gdc and porting to new front-end.
