Hi Simen,

I think you must have done something else but didn't mention to get it to compile. I did the exact changes you said and it wouldn't compile. Here's what I get with changes mentioned below (with new full source):

Fascinating. It works just fine when compiling for 32-bit targets with DMD on Windows, but not for 64-bit targets, nor when compiling with LDC. Apparently, this difference is due to DMD supporting 80-bit reals, and thus giving a different size to Variant (VariantN!20 on DMD on Windows, VariantN!16 or VariantN!32 elsewhere). There's a bug in VariantN that then causes the compilation to fail (https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20666).

The issue at hand then, is that Deb is too big until that issue if fixed. The simple solution to this is to allocate Deb on the heap with new and pass pointers instead of instances directly. Since you are already calling .dup whenever you pass a Deb somewhere, you can simply modify .dup to return a Deb* and the receive function to receive a Deb*, and I think you should be good to go.
