extern(System) alias void function() FuncType;

void main()
{
    auto h = cast(HMODULE) Runtime.loadLibrary("mydll.dll");
    scope (exit) Runtime.unloadLibrary(h);
    auto fp = cast(FuncType) GetProcAddress(h, "func");

    try
    {
        fp();
    }
    catch (Throwable e)
    {
        writeln("EXE - OK");
    }
}

--------------------------------------------
dmd -ofmydll.dll module.def mydll.d
dmd -run myexe.d
(CRASH)
--------------------------------------------

This issue is caused by difference in TypeInfo.
TypeInfo which Exception of mydll has is different from TypeInfo which
Exception of myexe has in instance.
Current druntime requires a comparison between the instance of TypeInfo in
catch. However, IMHO this implementation is a incorrect.

I strongly disagree with the expected behavior and the merged fix. https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/druntime/pull/92

Having multiple definitions of the same symbol can't work.

The correct solution is to move those symbols (phobos)
into a DLL and link every user against it.

(In reply to comment #2)

I examined the method, too. However, I was not able to obtain a good solution.

In addition, the solution to move the Phobos/druntime/any libraries's symbol which exe contains into DLL is not correct. This is because there is not the guarantee that a version of library is the same when DLL was compiled.

I have heard that this problem was the problem that was difficult in other
languages...
Unfortunately I cannot show the solution that is better than this. If you have
good solution, please submit PullRequest.

Yes updating library versions might cause incompatibilities. It is a matter of ABI design to avoid it.

Statically linking a library multiple times into
exe/dlls means you have duplicated state, e.g. the "same"
function called from different dlls will use different
locks.

There apply the same rules as with the C runtime only
that we don't yet have a /MD option to solve this issue.

I haven't yet looked into making phobos a DLL under windows.

There is one possible solution shown in issue 4071
