Failing to link on newer DMD/LDC versions?

[TheGag96]

I updated my DMD and LDC to a new version recently, and although other projects have compiled, I'm getting this error. I'm on Windows 8.1 x64, DMD 2.079.1, LDC 1.8.0, Visual Studio 2017.

For DMD you will probably need to clean all object files and rebuild, seems like minor mangling change from 2.079. As for LDC, I haven't yet find the cause, my initial guess was that it needs uuid.lib, but that didn't work.

Edit: As a workaround you can add to your project json

"sourceFiles-windows-ldc": [ "PATH_TO_LDC/import/core/sys/windows/uuid.d"]

which means that LDC 1.8 phobos2.lib for some reason doesn't have these symbols, and is clearly a bug.

Can't reproduce on dmd 2.080. Did a full rebuild help you?

I can confirm this problem with ldc 1.7 on win 10 64 bit.

EDIT: I tried with ldc 1.9 setting --config=minimal and I got example1 to run fine.

Looks like fixed for me. Can we close this issue?

I am going to close this issue as of now, because I added pipelines and everything. If something fails to compile, please open a new issue.
