Bug#960643: gdc-10: manpage and gdc --help doesn't mention -fmain
Package: gdc-10
Version: 10.1.0-1
Severity: normal
It is common to provide unittests for module in the module, but without
main, so the module can be used as a library.
For this reasons, to test just one module one need to provide a dummy main function when linking.
-fmain does this autoamtically in gdc.
This feature is also available in dmd (-main) and in ldc2 (--main, not
mentioned in the manpage, but shows in ldc2 --help).
So the option in gdc is there, it is just not mentioned in gdc --help or
in manpage, making it hard to find.
