The problem is that size() checks to see if the file is unsearchable by calling tell(). But on windows ftell does not have to return a -1, so no exception is thrown when calling tell. https://github.com/dlang/phobos/blob/v2.073.1/std/stdio.d#L2987 https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/0ys3hc0b.aspx "On devices incapable of seeking (such as terminals and printers), or when stream does not refer to an open file, the return value is undefined."
