Description AdamB 2010-08-31 21:44:43 UTC 
This page http://www.d-programming-language.org/interfaceToC.html states:

"There are no const or volatile type modifiers in D. To declare a C function that uses those type modifiers, just drop those keywords from the declaration."

Is this still true in D 2.0?  There's a whole section in the Language Reference about the "const" keyword and the compiler seems to accept it when creating C bindings.

This removes the mention to const, but I left volatile, as it's deprecated and I see no point of mentioning that. Of course this can be changed.
