           Summary: Returning a struct from a C library function doesn't

Create two files with these contents.

File: test.c

typedef struct
{
    float r,g,b,a;
} COLOR;

COLOR makecol(float r, float g, float b, float a)
{
    COLOR ret;
    ret.r = r;
    ret.g = g;
    ret.b = b;
    ret.a = a;
    return ret;
}

File: test.d

import std.stdio;

struct COLOR
{
    float r,g,b,a;
}

extern (C) COLOR makecol(float r, float g, float b, float a);

void main()
{
    auto col = makecol(1, 0.5, 1, 0.5);
    writefln("%s, %s, %s, %s", col.r, col.g, col.b, col.a);
}

Now compile the whole mess and test:

gcc -c test.c && ar -r test.a test.o
dmd test.d test.a
./test

The expected output is "1, 0.5, 1, 0.5" but actually it output something
completely different ("0, 0, 0, 0" on my system). This happens with both dmd
2.054 and 1.069.

Perhaps this bug is related to 5570?
