Bug 24496 – "Undefined reference to internal" when -c with SysTime.max in init

Consider this code: a.d: module a; import std.datetime; struct AStruct { SysTime time = SysTime.max; } void main() { } b.d: module b; import std.datetime; struct BStruct { SysTime time = SysTime.max; } Compile it directly and it works: $ dmd a.d b.d -oftest $ But compile it incrementally: $ dmd a.d b.d -c $ dmd a.o b.o -oftest /usr/bin/ld: b.o:(.data.rel.ro+0x8): undefined reference to `internal' collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

Simplified: a.d: import b; static second = first; void main() { } b.d: static first = new immutable Object; /usr/bin/ld: b.o:(.data+0x0): undefined reference to `internal'

Oh nice, thx for the test case! We have been hitting these weird issues too, especially with enabled coverage.
