// test.d enum x = __traits(compiles, (){ import doesNotExist; });
DMD works:
dmd -c test.d
RDMD fails:
rdmd -c test.d Error: cannot read file doesNotExist.d
The problem is RDMD gets dependencies by reading DMD's -v output, which always includes doesNotExist (since DMD does attempt to import it). Since RDMD sees doesNotExist in the -v output, it mistakenly tries to build it.
This prevents optional imports from working with RDMD:
static if( __traits(compiles, (){ import foobar; }) ) { import foobar; } else /+ do something else +/
It might be better for RDMD to read the -deps output instead, and omit the files listed with "(???)" as the filename.

RDMD still uses -v but DMD -v doesn't include it anymore so it works now
