Greetings

I am struggling with strange memory corruption issues with dmd-2.069.2 release.

...
./main
Start frop from C
0 -> @�+----------------

The last line is the content of an array which is actually filled with only dashes in the code.

Kindly help. I want to make sure that I am not making a mistake before I file a bug on dlang bugzilla.

Another workaround is to use GC.addRoot for dynamic allocated data in Dynamic.proc

void proc () {
    import core.memory: GC;
    dash.length = 32;
    GC.addRoot(cast(void*)dash.ptr);
    dash[] = '-';
}

And another one is hold pointer to data:

class Dynamic {
  static char[] space;
  static char[] dash;
  char* dash_ptr;
  void rehash () {
    static Hash hash ;
    hash = new Hash;
    hash.clear();
  }
  void proc () {
    import core.memory: GC;
    dash.length = 32;
    dash_ptr = dash.ptr;
    dash[] = '-';
  }
}
