I just ran into (I think) this bug http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=8377 using dmd 2.060. Seeing that there was a fix in git, I cloned the latest git dmd, built, and dropped the .exe into my existing dmd 2.060 installation directory.

I still get this unexpected optlink termination (although the location of the error is different - EIP=00424D76 - don't know if that is significant or not).

Thing is, I only hit the error when I compile a Debug target. In release mode there is no error.

I don't think I can narrow down this problem easily, I suspect the problem is in a 11k lines module of template heavy code generated by Pegged. I am just wondering if anyone who saw this problem pre the git commit also has trouble with debug builds, or if this is a different bug.

Cheers

I also had lots of trouble with Pegged and optlink since 2.060. Are you using rdmd? Because I have no linking problems with dmd, only rdmd, strangely enough. Maybe it's due to rdmd reusing cached information that should be updated more aggressively.

I tried both dmd and rdmd, both give the same result, optlink crash in debug build. I'm going to give dustmite a go, see if I can reduce it at all.
