Bug 1895 – missing symbols during linking for anything that uses writef

Reported in the newsgroup by 'nobody': import std.stdio; void main() { writef("Hello World\n"); } dmd hello.d hello.o: In function `_D3std6format80__T14formattedWriteTS3std5stdio25__T17PrivateFileWriterTaZ17PrivateFileWriterTaZ14formattedWriteFKS3std5stdio25__T17PrivateFileWriterTaZ17PrivateFileWriterAxaZv': hello.d:(.text._D3std6format80__T14formattedWriteTS3std5stdio25__T17PrivateFileWriterTaZ17PrivateFileWriterTaZ14formattedWriteFKS3std5stdio25__T17PrivateFileWriterTaZ17PrivateFileWriterAxaZv+0xa6): undefined reference to `_D3std6format10FormatInfo6flDashMFbZv' <... more errors ...> I can confirm with the released 2.012 zip file's libphobos2.a. With my own build the problem does not occur. Looking for symbol _D3std6format10FormatInfo6flDashMFbZv in the release .a file, it's missing. In my build it's present. Flagged as a p1 regression.

Walter uploaded a corrected dmd.2.012.zip file with the right version of the .a file. To check to make sure you have the right one, here's the relevant info: libphobos.a size: 1669414 md5sum: e90f6bfb31ce9a678a8acbfb206cd1bf dmd.2.012.zip size: 5336394 md5sum: 6e0aae81028e24e6ecc866f1b1f439bd
