I've been upgrading to a Windows 64 bit box. Running the D test suite, I ran
into a very strange problem. Here's the program:
---------------------------
extern(C) int printf(const char*, ...);
int main()
{
byte[3] a;
byte[3] b;
byte[3] c;
a[] = b[] + c[];
printf("Success\n");
return 0;
}
---------------------------
I run it from a cc.bat file that has the contents:
--------------------------
..\dmd test
test
..\dmd test
--------------------------
and the result is:
--------------------------
C:\test>..\dmd test
C:\test>test
Success
C:\test>..\dmd test
GetLastError = 32 test.exe
OPTLINK (R) for Win32 Release 8.00.12

OPTLINK : Error 3: Cannot Create File test.exe
--- errorlevel 1
---------------------------
Note the failure to write out test.exe. I instrumented Optlink to figure out
why, and the CreateFile() returns error 32, which is "The process cannot access
the file because it is being used by another process."
If you run the commands by typing them in (not via a .bat file) it works. If the
array
operations are removed, it works. It works on Windows XP.
I'm mystified. Does anyone have any ideas?
