It would be nice if a debug version of phobos gets used when -debug is specified. I just noticed a bug in the out contract of ifind(), which would have otherwise been undetected.. which makes me think, all those contracts aren't used.

I found that Phobos dumps a lot of crap when -debug is used,
so I just took out the -release from DFLAGS for my debug lib.

/usr/lib/libphobos-debug.a

That still honors the contracts, even if they seem to throw
AssertError instead of the correct InException/OutException ?


You can find how I built it, in the RPM specfile:
http://www.algonet.se/~afb/d/dmd.spec
Which didn't work on FC3, for some reason ?

Actually, it looks like a bug in the code
   ifind("</head>", "</html>")
returns 1.

See why phobos' contracts should be enabled for debug builds ;p
