Bug 100 – Assert statement error

assert statements is not behaving as they used to do. Here is a short test program. gcc version 4.0.3 (Ubuntu 4.0.3-1ubuntu3) Linux ubuntu 2.6.15-18-686 #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Mar 9 15:29:22 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux #!/bin/rdmd import std.stdio; void main() { char[] a = ""; try { if (a.length != 66) { writefln("ASSERT NOW"); assert(false); } writefln("What the f..."); } catch { writefln("catch"); } } --- Test run 1 ~/Documents/src/d/test: dmd ass.d gcc ass.o -o ass -lphobos -lpthread -lm -Xlinker --gc-sections ~/Documents/src/d/test: ./ass ASSERT NOW Segmentation fault --- Test run 2 ~/Documents/src/d/test: dmd -g ass.d gcc ass.o -o ass -g -lphobos -lpthread -lm -Xlinker --gc-sections ~/Documents/src/d/test: ./ass ASSERT NOW What the f... --- Test run 3 (with rdmd) ~/Documents/src/d/test: ./ass.d ASSERT NOW ---Test run 4 (dmd 1.50) ~/Documents/src/d/test: dmd -g ass.d gcc ass.o -o ass -g -lphobos -lpthread -lm ~/Documents/src/d/test: ./ass ASSERT NOW catch

This was caused by the --gc-sections, since removed.
