D identifier names are composed of uppercase and lowercase
letters, digits, and underscores, where the first character must
be a letter or underscore. All identifier names beginning with
an underscore (_
) are reserved for use by the
D system libraries. You should avoid using these names in your D
programs. By convention, D programmers typically use mixed-case
names for variables and all uppercase names for constants.
D language keywords are special identifiers that are reserved for use in the programming language syntax itself. These names are always specified in lowercase and must not be used for the names of D variables. The following table lists the keywords that are reserved for use by the D language.

D reserves for use as keywords a superset of the ANSI C
keywords. The keywords reserved for future use by the D language
are marked with “*
”. The D compiler
produces a syntax error if you attempt to use a keyword that is
reserved for future use. The keywords that are defined by D but
not defined by ANSI C are marked with
“+
”. D provides the complete set of types
and operators found in ANSI C. The major difference in D
programming is the absence of control-flow constructs. Note that
keywords associated with control-flow in ANSI C are reserved for
future use in D.
