Bug 3683 – Linker error on certain array expressions when using -release and -inline

Created attachment 546 two source files and a build batch file to reproduce the bug It's pretty bizarre. I get a linker error from array expressions which seems to manifest itself only under the following set of circumstances: *) using certain complex array expressions, *) importing the module which does so from another one, *) specifying both -release and -inline, *) compiling and linking separately. Below is an example of an array expression which fails to link: buf1[] = buf1[] + 0.5f * buf2[]; And here is the output of OPTLINK: OPTLINK (R) for Win32 Release 8.00.2 Copyright (C) Digital Mars 1989-2009 All rights reserved. http://www.digitalmars.com/ctg/optlink.html Test.obj(Test) Offset 0037AH Record Type 00C3 Error 1: Previous Definition Different : __arraySliceSliceExpMulAddSliceAssign_f --- errorlevel 2 I've attached a sample project to demonstrate the problem. Run build.bat to reproduce. Note that compiling and linking all D files in one step seems to avoid the issue, but since I want to use Rebuild this is not a convenient workaround for me.
