Well, as I'm new to D this isn't something I have insight into.
Then you'd probably be better off taking my word for it (or even trusting your own limited experience where things worked until you added the switch) and just not using -betterC switch.
It is hopelessly broken, but thankfully, it also brings zero benefit, so simply not using it is a viable path forward.
I mostly need interop with C libraries and D would only serve as a glue, so I don't really need several features like GC etc.
Just don't call those functions and they won't hurt you, aside from adding ~200 KB of size to the dll. On the other hand, the -betterC switch is hurting you - as evidenced by your own attempt working until you added it.
Perhaps, but this doesn't help me much.
It is a very easy solution to your problem. It is up to you if you want to take it and continue on in productivity or keep suffering for no benefit (and you'll find more trouble the further you go using the broken, barely supported switch).
