I wanted to fix http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=8936 and I'm currently trying to compile a little repro case in x64 on windows:

import core.stdc.stdio;
import core.sys.windows.windows;

void bar()
{
	throw new Exception("Ex");
}

void foo()
{
	bar();
}

void main(string[] args)
{
  printf("%s\n", (SetCurrentDirectoryA("C:\\") != 0) ? "true".ptr : "false".ptr);
  try
  {
    // Let's serach the whole C: drive!
	foo();
  }
  catch(Exception ex)
  {
	auto info = ex.info.toString() ~ "\0";
	printf("%s\n",info.ptr);
  }
}

I compiled with the latest git master branch versions of dmd and druntime. Druntime was build with the default win64.mak.

..\..\dmd\src\dmd.exe -m64 -g -debug -w -I..\..\druntime\import -property main.d -debuglib=..\..\druntime\lib\druntime64.lib -defaultlib=..\..\druntime\lib\druntime64.lib user32.lib -L"/LIBPATH:\"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\lib\x64\"" -L"/LIBPATH:\"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\lib\amd64\"" -L/NOLOGO

The error message I get is:
LIBCMT.lib(amdsecgs.obj) : fatal error LNK1103: debugging information corrupt; recompile module

Compiling in release works just fine. As soon as I add -g or -gc it breaks.

Any ideas what I could have done worng?

Kind Regards

Could be this one: https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/pull/1315

dmd might also add some library paths, try -v to see whether they conflict with your manually specified paths.

Thanks for the tip. Adding a sc.ini next to dmd.exe did help. Without the sc.ini the compiler would call the visual studio 2008 linker. (Because its in my PATH) And obviously that one is not compatible with the 2010 version.
