This is a bug in the C runtime that D uses, where pipes are not used correctly. I'm working on getting Walter to fix it as it's needed for the new std.process as well.


Try:

wordcount2.exe<  wordcount2.d

Shouldn't the original way work too?

Yes, but the main difference is, bearophile's method simply opens a file, which FILE * obviously supports no problem. Your method creates a process with a pipe as the input.
