I think this bug report can just be closed: https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9889 The example works fine.
It still fails on win32.
Its also confusing because the comment says std.format.formatValue, but the code uses std.string.format.
std.string.format uses formatValue internally.
On a side note, as if I find old bug reports that can just be closed whats the best way for me to report it?
I usually post a comment if I can't reproduce, and wait for the original author to confirm that it has been fixed. Be careful about which platform it was reported for and which one you're testing on. Some bugs can obviously be closed, such as those that deal with features that have been removed.
If I add a comment on the bug report will it just be lost in the shuffle?
Yes and no. A comment may not get much attention, but some of us do read through all the bug updates, and a comment about failure to reproduce or a question about validity will likely get answered eventually.
