I've ported one of my projects[1] from D1 to D2 and it works perfectly fine on Posix. Now when I try to compile the code on Windows I get a stack overflow. I really suck at Windows development, I don't even know where to start. Which debugger should I use that can handle the debug format DMD is compiled with?

Compile in 64-bit and use Visual Studio or Visual Studio Express to debug the application. If you want to compile in 32-bit you will need to run cv2pdb on the generated exectuable before debugging with visual studio. cv2pdb is part of VisualD which I recommend using for any windows development.

Kind Regards

I'll give that a try, thanks.

You could try reducing the bug using DustMite, and this helper:

Thanks, DustMite was able to find a reduced test case. It was this little piece of code:

enum : DWORD
{
    DWORD = REG_DWORD
}
