DMD is still crap.
I reported the same problem 1.5 years ago and it's back.
Walter ignore it... because I can't reduce it to a small example, I can understant that but DMD is still crap.
see the post "help posting a bug" on the d.learn group.
This is the same thing that delay DUI months on the Value/Pixbuf problem.
And made very frustrated with D.
development of Duit is halted until this is solved.

I'll try to lend a hand with this one, Ant. Can you give a few more details? Are you working on Linux? Your post on the newsgroup doesn't really describe what's going on other than some debug information?
Are you on Linux? What module are you compiling that seems to cause the problem? How did you even discover the error in the first place
Don't give up, Ant. Just take a breather and tell me how I can help you. You don't have to do it all by yourself.

| Come on, share some source and instructions for how to reproduce the error. I'm sure we'll be able to help |

Ok, I'm obviously behaving like a child, sorry.
Maybe it's not DMD that is crap, maybe it's the linker, or gdb, or leds or my code.
I'll review it and try to help you to help me.
Thank you,

chek
http://svn.dsource.org/projects/dui/trunk/dyndui/DuitBUG.tar.gz
for the source code, compilation commands and how to reproduce the problem.
(linux only - requires Gtk)
you will need to edit the files compleDuit and compileDuitTests to point to your dmd location
(or better yet, don't touch that, create a symboli link in your home director)
if DuitTests can't find the Gtk+ libs check the file src/lib/paths.d
read the READM* first
it would be nice if we could meet on the chat room

I think you will find at least one of me, JJR or h3r3tic in #D at freenode almost always And if not us, there is almost certainly someone else. |

I've downloaded it. I'll start taking a look today. It looks like Tom S and Lars are already investigating the code (per IRC).

updated to fix the C to D type conversion.
I'll try to make a 3rd version today including the conversion programs (need to rest now...)

I've tried this one, Ant. Obviously the same problem still exists, so I guess fixing the data type conversion wasn't the solution.
More digging to be done, it looks like.
Thanks.

thinking of it it could NOT be the solution.
I tried ignoring the Gtk struct alltogether - I mean didn't even ask Gtk to create it.
what I did was create a Drawable with
new Drawable(cast(GdkDrawable*)1);
with that drawable we cannot call the gtk functions (obviously)
but we can call the foo() method that should print "in Drawable.foo()"
that never happens... 
(I don't think the new version has the foo() method)
