I guess the cause is the same - slice.length.sizeof == 4,
while slice.sizeof == 4, slice.ptr.sizeof == 2, and
size_t.sizeof == 2.
You should have better luck using gdc on avr.

Hi Max,
GDC and LDC are both happy to support many platforms (it's
fun), so keep filing bug reports in our bug trackers! (LDC's bug
tracker is on Github, please also mention the triple you are
using)
cheers,
Johan

You'd have to use a non-gmail account IIRC, not sure if there's
any others that are in the "typically spam" blacklist.
align(4)
struct S {
ubyte[4] bytes;
}
static assert (S.alignof == 4); // fail, S.alignof == 1
It's not specific to AVR. Worked around by placing 'align'
inside the struct.
That sounds a lot like this issue:

Can backport that for GCC-11.

For now, two issues with GDC 11, which I hope to work around: 1) compiler complains about typeinfos of structs used in CTFE only, 2) 'align' is mishandled

It almost worked (thanks to Webfreak and LDC people), but there were a couple of issues: 1. No support for ISRs. I had to implement thunks in C calling D. 2. No slices, because 'length' is typed as 32-bit. Worked around by accessing the array's elements via .ptr. 3. No foreach (as a consequence of 2, I guess) Does this form of foreach work? foreach(i; 0 .. 10)

Integer promotion errors/warnings are very annoying when the primary integer type is byte. 5. A memory corruption bug (probably due to clobbered registers/corrupted stack/a stupid mistake of mine), which made me switch back to C++ for now.
