Hello,
Today I came across a strange bug while using D with `dmd`. I
have still not been able to figure out under what conditions does
it happen but it seems to be a DMD related bug to me. Here is a
reproducible snippet of the code
```D
import std;
alias DG = void delegate();
class TType
{
}
class MyClass
{
this(TType t1, TType, double, double[2], double, double, DG,
TType, TType,
DG, DG, DG, double, double, double, double, double,
ulong, bool)
{
assert(t1 is null); // I am passing null so should be
null!
// NOTE: Seems to work in LDC but fails in DMD.
writeln("No Bug!");
}
}
void main()
{
auto tt = new TType;
new MyClass(null, tt, 0, [0, 0], 0, 0, null, null, null,
null, null, null,
0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, false);
}
```
The code gives an assertion failure on the current versions of
dmd (reproducible on [run.dlang.io](https://run.dlang.io) as
well) and does not happen when using LDC. The bug seems to be
sensitive to the number of arguments and their types making it
reproducible only in very limited cases. I have tried my best to
reduce it to minimum but still does require these many arguments.
The end results seems to me like variables are shifted i.e.
variable 1 gets value of variable 2 and so on, but don't have
enough proof to support this.
I just wanted some help on the best way to avoid this bug in my
code and maybe some clue on what causes the error in the first
place and how should I go about reporting this.
