I'm making a simple sockets lib for D on linux to get used to D. When I compile
it with sin_zero in struct sockaddr_in as "ubyte sin_zero[8];" I get the error:

dmd testsocket.d 
gcc testsocket.o -o testsocket -lphobos -lpthread -lm 
testsocket.o: In function `_Dmain':
testsocket.o(.gnu.linkonce.t_Dmain+0x8): undefined reference to
`_init_7sockets11sockaddr_in'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
--- errorlevel 256

But when I use the sockaddr_in struct below (with sin_zero1 thru sin_zero8) it
compiles and runs fine. The same thing happens if I reference just sockaddr as
well. The sin_zero is used to pad sockaddr_in to the size of sockaddr which is
16 bytes.

Here is the related code to the problem:

alias ushort sa_family_t;
alias ushort in_port_t;
alias uint u_int32_t;

struct sockaddr {
sa_family_t sa_family;
byte sa_data[14];
};  

struct in_addr {
u_int32_t s_addr;
};  

struct sockaddr_in {
sa_family_t sin_family;
in_port_t sin_port;
in_addr sin_addr;
ubyte sin_zero[8];
};
struct sockaddr_in {
sa_family_t sin_family;
in_port_t sin_port;
in_addr sin_addr;
ubyte sin_zero1;
ubyte sin_zero2;
ubyte sin_zero3;
ubyte sin_zero4;
ubyte sin_zero5;
ubyte sin_zero6;
ubyte sin_zero7;
ubyte sin_zero8;
};


Thanks for your help.

The trouble is that the linker is looking for the initializer for
sockaddr_in. That is provided when socket.d is compiled. I suspect you are
not compiling socket.d and linking in socket.obj.
