Does anyone else build dmd 32 bit environment on windows server 2012? I've been having trouble doing so and it's blocking my efforts to help get ddmd moving forward on windows.

The problem I'm seeing is that the druntime unittest fails.  Digging into them it looks like it's the core.thread tests.  My windows debugging experience is close to 0, and windbg is.. interesting.

Before I spend more time, is anyone else running successfully in the same environment?  Or even better, can anyone else duplicate my results?

The details of my env:
   ec2 c1.medium windows instance in a vpc
   running ami-a13d6891 (Windows_Server_2012-R2 ... 2014.11.19)

   dm857c.zip -- from downloads.dlang.org/other/

   dmd, druntime, phobos from tip of master on Nov 26
      (the tree was nice and green)

It shouldn't matter, but for completeness, I'm in a cygwin environment, but with dmc's toolchain at the head of the path and properly setup in sc.ini.

The win/32 tester is a windows 2008 server.  The win/64 tester is windows 2012.  I see this problem on both the existing win/64 tester (started with a much older ami but current with windows updates so should be very similar to the above ami) and a brand new instance spun up specifically to dig into this problem (with exactly the above ami).

I'm going to keep digging, but some confirmation of success or failure by anyone else would be useful info.

Thanks,
Brad

Ok, the two tests that fail are the fiber + exception tests:

Looks like I can reproduce the crash (or at least a crash) in the druntime unittests running on a 2012 vm.

Good.  I'm not surprised, but glad to have confirmation.  See bug 13821 that I filed earlier.  It references druntime pull 150 where there was code added specifically for win 2008 support.  See the two pull requests I created a little while ago.  I'll bet good money that applying them in your vm will result in passing tests (obviously just hiding the underlying issue).

Yeah.  I'm going to have a go at tracking down what's failing, but if I can't I'll merge those pull requests.

Disabling SEHOP doesn't fix the crash.

Hi Brad,

With this now worked-around, what else is blocking having ddmd tested on windows?  Are we getting close?

Thanks,
Daniel
