Hello Don,
BTW - It's worth knowing that a significant part of the effort in fixing a bug (maybe 25% of the total time) is in creating a minimal test case. I've noticed that very few bug reports have completely minimal test cases. Reducing existing test cases is something that anyone can do.
Maybe the practice of including a minimal test case as an attachment on bugs should be adopted. If it was done in a way that can be detected automatically, them bugs without them could be filtered for and the test cases scraped into a test suit (so we can tell when a bug vanishes on it's own). For that matter what would it take to run all .d attachments on open bugs thought each new version of DMD and attache the results?
