The following program prints out OS = win32.

Is this the intended behavior?



import std.stdio;
import std.system;

void main (string[] args) {
   immutable OS os;
   writefln("OS = %s",os);
}

That's a local variable that you've defined. Since OS.init happens to be 
OS.win32, that's what you get.

   writefln("OS = %s",os);
 }

What you need is the already defined std.system.os:

import std.stdio;
import std.system;

void main (string[] args) {
   writefln("OS = %s",os);
}

Maybe it should be "unknown" or "undefined" :)

You can always make a pull request for that and then see if 
everybody agrees or if there's a specific reason why it 
initializes to Windows.

Ali,
Thank you. I've got it working.
I had to use writefln("OS = %s",std.system.os); to get it to 
compile.
