Working my way through Ali Çehreli's rather amazing e-book, I've
hit a snag where some code I've written is pretty crashy. I
consistently get "Segmentation fault: 11" (dmd 2.067.1, OSX).
I can't figure out where things are going wrong, because any
attempt I make to debug via extra print statements causes the
program to run successfully. Same if I try to compile with "-gc"
... it suddenly starts working, so I can't debug with gdb.
Putting aside any "that's probably not a great solution to the
problem you're tying to solve" thoughts, can anyone offer me the
"eureka" moment I'm missing to understand why the code below
doesn't work?
Many thanks in advance!
