it was almost impossible to trace the problem back to its

Theoretically, -dip25 and -dip1000 are supposed to prevent this
sort of problem, but I don't know how fully-implemented they
are, whether they would catch the specific instance in your
code, or whether your code even compiles with these options.

No luck. Actually, I avoid in my code pointers in general, I
write my code very "Java-like" with objects everywhere etc. I
gave up on the issue actually, perhaps I am encountering this bug
https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16511 in my own code.
Anyway, 32-bit and 64-bit debug work, so does LDC. That's good
enough for me.
