Hi,

I just spent the last 5 hours trying to find the cause of a segmentation fault. It was clearly my mistake that I did all those tests with dmd's optimization switch on ("-O"). When I disabled optimization, i.e. removed the "-O" flag, the code runs perfectly.

I can't exclude an actual bug in my code with 100 percent certainty. But given various segmentation faults that I have seen with dmd previous to version 2.061, and given the fact that I am not using any pointers or other memory-unsafe constructs, I am inclined to believe that this segfault is actually caused by dmd itself, or at least dmd's optimization. Please correct me if you think that is extremely unlikely.

Has anyone experienced those kind of problems which only occur with the "-O" flag, but not without it? Or can anyone point me to a related bug that has already been reported on bugzilla?

Unfortunately, in my case the code crashed in a position late in some iteration loop, so I can't easily reproduce it in a simple program to file a bug report.

Stephan
