Thanks, I'll try that, sadly clear didn't seem to fix it.

This looks like your build system fails to detect file changes 
and links outdated .o file(s), or library, which causes a 
mismatch between your debug info and the real location of the 
variables. This leads the debugger to look in the wrong place and 
hence can't read the memory. By inserting the variable int x, Mat 
a is then again on the stack frame where it's supposed to be 
according to the debug info. That's my guess anyways.


When I encounter a problem like this I do a 'clean all' followed 
by a full rebuild of both, the lib and the program using it.

Nondeterministic unittest debugging problem.

I am unsure where to mention this as I am utterly lost as to what 
the issue is, which I can simply best describe with 2 
screenshots. Though I'll first give a short description.


For some reason my debugger is "\" for 
one of my variables in one of my unittests. This is however not 
the case when a random unused variable is inserted in front of 
it. (For reference I'm building the unittest using something 
similar to `dub build --build=unittest --config=unittest --force 
--archType=x86_64`, though the project is a library thus there 
are some complications:

```d
int x = 0;
Mat!(3, 3, float) a = Mat!(3, 3, float)([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 
9]);

```

Note the x variable is entirely unused while Mat is a struct of a 
union that is essentially just a 2d array of floats.


I have no more clue where to look as I have no clue what could 
cause this, am I overlooking something trivial? Thanks in advance.
