--- Comment #2 from ZombineDev <petar.p.kirov at gmail.com> ---
AFAIK, C doesn't have static constructors, only C++ has, so your example should
be:

extern(C++) shared static this()
{
    // ...
}

Of course extern (D) should work too:

extern(D) shared static this()
{
    // ...
}

I'm not sure if `pragma(mangle, ...) [shared] static this()` should be allowed
as static constructors / destructors are meant to be called only once and only
by the runtime.
