This is maybe more a Windows (11) question than it is a dustmite one. Semi-OT.

I'm trying to reduce https://forum.dlang.org/thread/muehtdyjabmjxosmjuvf@forum.dlang.org, and it's Windows so I don't know what I'm doing. After multiple attempts at piecing together a batch tester script that both checks for compiler stderr/stdout and the errorlevel of the process, I resigned and wrote a quick thing in D to do it instead.

Off the top of my head;

import std;

static immutable command = `ldc2.exe -flags and stuff copy/pasted from dub build -v output`
    .replace('\\', '/')
    .split(' ');

int main()
{
    immutable result = execute(command);
    return ((result.code == 5) && !result.output.length) ? 0 : 1;
}

Once compiled it seems to work when called manually, and dustmite accepts it as a tester, but there are a lot of errors output to the console during actual reduction.

They occur constantly, and dustmite halts and waits a full second each time before retrying, sometimes with the same message repeated some 5 times. (Meaning access to the file was blocked for the same 5 seconds.)

Indexing is off for the parent directory. What else can I do?

If that doesn't help, you could try using Sysinternals Process Monitor to check what is accessing the file.
