At least for gdc only hello-world like code works. Real code hits this issue: https://bitbucket.org/goshawk/gdc/issue/215/alignment-of-struct-members-wrong-on-arm This also applies to all platforms which aren't supported by dmd. > I think the GC is problematic, thus you also have to avoid >most of phobos. The GC seems to work if druntime is compiled with -fno-section-anchors , but no real testing was done. https://bitbucket.org/goshawk/gdc/issue/120/fsection-anchors-broken-on-arm might also be caused by bug 215. -- Johannes Pfau
