I'm writing bindings to XCB right now, and its mostly going smoothly.
However I have encountered a very strange problem.
This bit of code segfaults with DMD:
auto connection = xcb_connect(null, null);
auto setup = xcb_get_setup(connection);
auto iter = xcb_setup_roots_iterator(setup);
auto screen = iter.data;
But it doesn't segfault with LDC2. This is odd to me because as far as I
am aware LDC2 uses the same front end at DMD. This must mean that there
is a bug in the dmd backend.
I thought it could be related to const optimizations, but I removed all
the const declarations from the appropriate C bindings and the same
thing happened.
I don't have the time to create a minimal test case for this, so I can't
really file a bug report on it. I was also wondering what could cause
this problem. I am using dmd 2.059 and the latest ldc from the arch
repositories.
