Any idea (bug?) why dmd's profiling file trace.log dumps bunches of unreadable binary characters instead of function names?

have you removed the previous trace.log in the folder you executed the binary in?

You have GOT to be kidding me! I'm supposed to know to delete the log file every time I run the program (or is it "change" the program?) even though there's zero mention of that in the man page for dmd? There's no mention that the logs are additive!

Is profile=gc additive? Who knows! Certainly not the documentation.

I'm not mad at him, to be clear. I'm mad at the constant barrage of gotchas from lack of proper documentation.
