The keyword of share is really annoying for a class。

Yes and no - it compiles when removing the casts, but AVs at runtime.

Hi Martin,

On the one hand, it's nice to get a shiny, new version (thanks to all involved), but is there any way the installer can be more selective about what it tosses out so I don't have to reconfigure GtkD libs, etc. in its aftermath?

Are you putting libs in the compiler's directory tree? Or are you editing sc.ini/dmd.conf? You really shouldn't be doing the former.

We have the same problem in Martin's std.io library, won't build with the null uncasted. And it's not improperly casting, because syncDriver is stateless and immutable, so casting to shared mutable isn't going to cause problems (I think).

Discussion: https://github.com/MartinNowak/io/issues/27

Currently causes pull requests for this and my iopipe library to fail to build on CI.

P.S. glad to see shared getting some attention!

I suspect that providing simplified examples might improve your chances of getting these fixed...

Thanks! I'll look into these as soon as I have a moment. Sorry for the inconvenience.

I follow the steps outlined here: https://github.com/gtkd-developers/GtkD/wiki/Installing-on-Windows

And one of those steps (Step #5) says to copy the gtkd libs to the compiler's directory tree. Is that what you mean by "You really shouldn't be doing the
former."?

And I also edit sc.ini.

I recommend that you use Dub instead and add gtk-d [1] as a dependency.
