I'm trying to test this patch but I'm having some problems compiling Tango (I'm
using 0.99.9, not trunk). With the patched DMD, I get this error:
dmd: mtype.c:5671: void PointerMap::pointer(size_t): Assertion `offset <
m_size' failed.
Compiling the file: tango/util/digest/MerkleDamgard.d
Here is some output from a GDB session:

I don't know enough about DMD internals to debug this myself, so any help will
be very much appreciated.
I'd like to run my test suite to the GC with precise scanning to see how it
goes. I've noticed that false pointers can add a lot of variance in the time a
program can take in Linux, where the addresses returned by mmap() is
randomized, so there are times where the address range returned by mmap() is
much more prone to receive false pointers. See this for the full story:
http://www.llucax.com.ar/blog/blog/post/-7a56a111
Running dil to generate the full Tango documentation can take from 50 to 80
seconds depending on the address range returned by the OS (I suspect because of
false pointers; which I hope to prove trying this patch :)
