I'm using some win functions that don't use the gc and are

I went ahead and copied the import and added nogc. Shouldn't
someone add that to objbase?
Why don't you fork it & add it yourself?
Otherwise to quote Walter: "a bug only exists if it's on
Bugzilla [issues.dlang.org]" ;-)
If this is a bug then there are some serious issues with D's
protocol of updating code. How can entire modules be missed? It
seems the maintainers of D's library code do not actually use
most of the features then? D needs a real code test suite to
keep stuff like this from happening, not individual users from
the outside to keep it in shape which makes me feel like a
guinea pig. I won't stick around too long if that's the case.
Well the code quality standards are actually quite high for D
(and the test suites are there), but the problem that you
discovered here is that most modules have been written before the
moderately new @nogc keyword has been introduced. Phobos alone
has > 100K LoC, so it just takes a bit of time until new
features are propagated through the entire codebase and help is
appreciated there because D is entirely driven by highly
motivated volunteers. (this will change soon with the new D
foundation)
That being said (1) there are currently between 2-5 PRs per day
to add more annotations to Phobos, (2) most code in Phobos is
templated and thus the compiler can automatically infer
attributes.
