Please file a bug report with reproducible examples if you
believe it's a bug.
I feel people need to stop saying this. It feels like people
are just being told to say this if there is a bug. There is a
larger issue, Bugzilla doesn't and isn't working. Someone will
probably throw up some stats about how many bugs are filed and
how many are resolved. Those exist because someone working on
Dlang comes across a bug that affects them, creates a patch
for it first, then goes and creates a bugzilla entry and marks
it resolved. Issues are rarely resolved by anyone other than
the person that created the bug report to begin with. Or
issues created by a team member is resolved by another team
member.
While that's admittedly all-too-true, filing a proper bug
report is still an essential step.
Like you, I'm all for bringing attention to important issues on
the newsgroup. However, it is CRUCIAL for this to be IN
ADDITION to filing a bug report, and NOT INSTEAD of filing a
bug report.
Correct. There's no point in having a lengthy discussion on the
topic without a bug report because it'll just waste their time
and then they'll complain that their bug is being ignored. Unless
there is a change in the operation of this project, all bugs
reported in the forum need to be addressed by telling them to
file a bug report.
