Awesome stuff, through and through.
An awesome way to hit compiler bugs, huh?
Well sorry, but it's really like that: programming with D is awesome,
until you hit problems like ICEs.
I agree that it's a problem, which is why the latest compiler release
got rid of 40% of the remaining segfault and ICE bugs (including the
three most commonly encountered). You should find a significant
improvement now.
That's really awesome, by the way.
I have patches for many of the remaining bugs. Unfortunately there are 5
ICE bugs in bugzilla with no test cases, which means they can't be fixed.
Better than having a crash with OPTLINK with no error message nor
indication of what the problem is, where the only reproducible test case
is 2MB worth of object files and which has already cost you four days of
trying fruitlessly to work around it, still without a solution.
And the code works flawlessly under Linux, but all the users have Windows.

I hate OPTLINK. *sobs*

Ouch.
Do you think it might be bug 1439? (note that the test case probably
doesn't work any more, since Walter started hashing ultra-long mangled
names, but the point remains that there's a (narrow) range of symbol
lengths which will kill OPTLINK). Or yet another instance of bug 424? Or
is likely to be something else? (IE, is your code template-heavy?)
I can't make bug 2817 crash, and it's the only other plausible optlink
segfault in bugzilla.
