Using dmd every day and since one day I'm getting this error when I'm compiling using the -b release flag (dub build -b release).

I'm compiling a vibe.d application that has roughly 3k LoC.

Removing the -b flag solves the problem.

Dmd version : v2.071.0
Vibe.d version : 0.7.26

I'm sure some more experienced forum readers will weigh in soon, but my understanding is that:

All ICEs are errors in the compiler. You should submit it as a bug at https://issues.dlang.org/

If you can use DustMite to narrow down the error, that would help track it down much faster.

Thanks,

The project is pretty big, DustMite would handle this?

Yes, but it may take some time. For large projects, running it on a server is advisable. 3K LOC should be doable on a desktop machine.

Dub has built-in support for running Dustmite. I'm not very familiar with it, but it looks like you'll want to use 'dub dustmite' with the --compiler-regex switch with a regex matching the ICE assert message.

Any idea how to run with dub ?

Trying like this

dub dustmite app/ --compiler-regex="Internal Error" 'dub build -b release'

I think it is something like:

dub dustmite ./dustmite_output/ --compiler-regex="Internal Error" -b release

Okay I tried yesterday, after 4hours of process, I never went through the end of minification.

At the beginning I enter YES should I enter NO instead?

Hmm that's strange. I don't get any yes or no questions. What is the exact message you get?

I've been looking into using dustmite with dub a bit, and running

dub dustmite "../DustmiteResult" --compiler-regex=".*backend/cgelem\.c 501.*" --build=release

in your project directory should just work..
