Bug 5172 – ModuleInfo's flags not correct WRT class static ctor/dtor when compiled with -lib

Given the following 3 modules: mod1.d: import mod2; __gshared int y = 2; shared static this() { y = C.x; } mod2.d: import mod1; class C { __gshared static int x = 1; shared static this() { x = y; } } myapp.d: import mod1; import mod2; import std.stdio; void main() { writefln("x = %d, y = %d", C.x, y); } ---------------- Clearly there is a cyclic dependency, and x and y will be 2 or 1 depending on module ctor order. If I compile with the following lines (on Linux): dmd -lib -oflibmylib.a mod1.d mod2.d dmd myapp.d -L-L. -L-lmylib The compiler builds and myapp runs without any errors, printing x = 1, y = 1. The problem stems from the fact that the compiler does not mark mod2 as having any static ctors. However, if I compile as: dmd myapp.d mod1.d mod2.d Then the compiler builds, but myapp fails with a cyclic dependency failure.

This appears to be fixed in the latest version of the compiler, not sure when it was fixed.
