Create a D file, eg: ---- // test.d void foo(){} ---- Compile: $ dmd -c test.d -oftest.o Use otool: $ otool -I test.o (that's a capital i if in case of the font being bad). The output will be something like: ---- test.o: indirect symbol table offset is past end of file ---- An object file as outputted by gcc or clang does not display the same issue. After linking the D version does not either. Changing backend/machobj.c:994 to use foffset -1 fixes the issue and does not seem to cause any side effects, given my complete lack of knowledge about the file format I thought I better report this for a proper fix.

This doesn't seem to be reproducible anymore (tested on macos 10.15.1). Should probably be closed.

Tested on Mac OSX 10.15 too, and can't reproduce. Tested a few other approaches and couldn't trigger the message with `otools -I` so closing as WORKSFORME.
