Code ran with expected output, but Disassembly seemed to go in a loop?

What makes you think that? It's hard to tell if you don't give any information.

Let's do that! I'll use only naive flags and all and use radare2 to
disassemble the main D function which is _Dmain (the entry point has to
launch the runtime etc... we aren't very interested in that):

$ cat >test.d <<EOF
    import std.stdio;
    void main() {
        writeln("Hello World!");
    }
EOF
$ dmd test.d
$ ./test
Hello World!
$ r2 -q -c "afr; pdf @ sym._Dmain" test
┌ (fcn) sym._Dmain 24
│   sym._Dmain ();
│           ; CALL XREF from 0x08078258 (sym.main)
│           ; DATA XREF from 0x0807825b (sym.main)
│           0x08077e70      55             push ebp

│           0x08077e7e      50             push eax
│           0x08077e7f      e804000000     call

└           0x08077e87      c3             ret

No loop. Not even a jump. I'm in x86 so arguments are simply pushed on the
stack. No brainer.

I pressed the 'Disassembly' button and got...nothing.

Okey so some page does not work correctly, and you think this? Wow :D
you should try one of these this pages

That's a problem about the debugger/disassembler that you use, not about D.

We can't do anything else to help as you give no information. See my post:
- I gave the exact source code
- I gave the compiler that I used with all its flags
- I explained what tool I used to analyse it, what I was analysing exactly and how
- At each step I gave the exact output of the tools with potential errors

This means this is reproducible. Anybody can try it at home and check for himself that it works.

There is *no way* to fix a bug that we can't reproduce, and there is *no way* to reproduce it unless we have all the informations stated above.

Apologies, I didn't understand that you put all that in the title.
