I get this error when trying to compile a program using [dhtslib](https://github.com/blachlylab/dhtslib) with DMD or any LDC version < 1.25.0.
```
_D39TypeInfo_S7dhtslib3sam6record9SAMRecord6__initZ: error: undefined reference to `_D7dhtslib3sam6record9SAMRecord15__fieldPostblitMFNbNiNlNeZv'
```
Though I only experience this when trying to create an array of `SAMRecord`s.

One solution I have found is using `std.array.Appender` instead of arrays. Another solution I have found is to define an explicit postblit for `SAMRecord`, though the implicitly generated postblit should work.

Looking through ldc changelogs, the closest thing I could attribute this to is this change for ldc-1.25.0:

- Struct TypeInfos are emitted into referencing object files only, and special TypeInfo member functions into the owning object file only. (#3491)

I posted this question [previously](https://forum.dlang.org/post/flpztfooingrpkxan...@forum.dlang.org), though I explained the problem poorly.

I don't understand why my fixes work or what is causing the issue in the first place. Is there something I should be doing differently? Is this a compiler or language bug?
