I can't say for sure, but there are some cases I know where you
don't get stack trace (mostly dmd bugs):
- inside module constructors `shared static this()`
- null function pointer call
I don't see any problem with this proposal as long as these
points hold:
- Shared <-> Unshared is never implicit, either requiring an
explicit cast (both ways) or having a language support which
allows the conversion gracefully.
- Shared methods are called by compiler if the type is shared or

You can apply a patch if you're willing to compile dmd from

Find the following code in file 'mtype.d' at line 4561:
bool overflow = false;
if (mulu(tbn.size(loc), d2, overflow) >=
0x100 || overflow) // put a 'reasonable' limit
https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14859
This limitation is put there because of optlink (which fails to
link when you have enough static data), and is actually entirely
meaningless when combined with -m32mscoff & -m64 switches (since
other linkers handle huge static data just fine).
