Well, it looks like it relates to directly assigning a non-null value to the _timezone member at compile time. The new TimeZone class declaration is not required. All you have to do to trigger it is to change line # 8996 at the bottom of std.datetime.systime from

    Rebindable!(immutable TimeZone) _timezone;
to

    Rebindable!(immutable TimeZone) _timezone = UTC();

Unfortunately, declaring a struct like

    struct S
    {
        Rebindable!(immutable TimeZone) _timezone = UTC();
    }

does not exhibit the problem. So, I don't know how to create a small test case that doesn't require the std.datetime code. But assigning UTC() like this before used to work. A backend bug on Windows prevened me from getting a similar PR merged where it added a new TimeZone class, and assigning UTC() in that case had exactly the same problem as I recall (certainly, assigning the new time zone class did, because that's what blocked the PR). But it worked perfectly fine on other OSes, and I'm fairly certain that I tried those changes again at some point, and the backend bug was gone - I just wanted to rework the changes, so they weren't committed. Regardless, it worked perfectly fine on non-Windows OSes previously. So, something about this broke in the last several releases. I'd have to do some research to figure out when it broke though.

Okay. If it's a regression, it's an old one. I suspect that I just didn't hit it before, because I didn't run make checkwhitespace, and running the full unittest build doesn't hit it (at least, not on my machine). I tried back as far as 2.069.0, and directly assigning UTC() to _timezone still triggered the problem with running make whitespace.

A better reduced test case:

Here is even smaller test case:

// main.d
import texteditor;
void main() {}

// texteditor.d
module texteditor;
class EditorTextModel
{
    void fun() { editor.fun2(); }
    TextEditor editor;
}
struct TextEditor
{
    Piece* sentinel = new Piece;
    void fun2() {}
    import std.datetime : MonoTime;
}
struct Piece {}

// dmd -m64 -lib -of="lib.lib" -debug -g -w  -I="./" texteditor.d // dmd -m64 -of="app.exe" -debug -g -w -I="./" lib.lib main.d

Looks like the problem is with
    Piece* sentinel = new Piece;
If I do that at runtime it works.

Hm... I didn't see this before, but you have an import for MonoTime. On the original PR I saw this, it was an update to MonoTime.

Can you confirm that your code works or not without MonoTime import (which seems to be doing nothing in your latest version)?

Correction: PR was not about MonoTime but SysTime. But still, datetime seems to be involved.

Error doesn't happen when `import std.datetime : MonoTime;` is removed
