I ran into this recently when compiling for Android/x86, as
the Android NDK linker calls --gc-sections by default. I was
able to reproduce the segfault with dmd compiling a linux/x86
executable with the --gc-sections flag added to the linker
command, when compiling sieve.d from the samples. I think
sieve.d was working fine when I removed the recent patches for
shared library support on linux, in sections_linux.d, so this
incompatibility might be related to the shared library work.
I'm not sure if you're even using that work though, so maybe
that's just one of the ways that gc-sections trips up.
Interesting! I'd like to take the current 4.8 backport and
compile it without the shared library stuff to test this out.
But I don't know how. Would you mind giving me a quick
explanation on how to remove these patches using git? I'm
really quite new to some of these tools.
Nevermind that last post. I thought you were talking about code
in GDC, not the runtime. My runtime is only about 400 lines
total, and I'm not anywhere near sections.d.
