With new DMD I have some issue when linking:

obj/Debug/TestD.o: In function `_D6object40__T16AssociativeArrayTiTC7handler5mysqlZ16AssociativeArray6rehashMFNdZHiC7handler5mysql': /usr/include/d/druntime/import/object.di:484: undefined reference to `_D26TypeInfo_HiC7handler5mysql6__initZ'

With LDMD2 and DMD 2.62 everything seems ok.

Problematic code:

//---- main.d ----//
module main;
import handler;
void main(string[] args) {}

//---- handler.d ----//
module handler;
abstract class base {}
class mysql : base {}

class handler {
    private mysql[int] mysql_servers;
    public void foo() {
        base[int] hServers = cast(base[int])mysql_servers;
    }
}

I can recreate this on win32 but only with the -g flag.

Btw, I'd be very careful using casts on hashes like that, there's no runtime checking when you cast hashes, even if the key or value is a base class which is casted to a derived class. For example:

-----
class A { }
class B : A { void call() { } }

void main()
{
    A[int] a;
    a[1] = new A();

    B[int] b = cast(B[int])a;  // unsafe, no exceptions thrown
    b[1].call();  // crash
}

Yes, I realize I can avoid this kind of cast in my case, so now the code is more safe and compilable.

https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/commit/1a4f809768ac94936299929dff205c8bebb008e5 fix Issue 10573 - Weird linking problem with associative array cast

CastExp would call `TypeAArray::getImpl()` in glue layer.

However if the AA type is just only used in the cast expression, the timing is too late to invoke `getImpl`, because the AA type instantiation may need more semantic analysis like deferred semantic3.

For the correct instantiation of the `AssociativeArray!(K, V)` type, `getImpl` should be invoked in front-end layer beforehand.
