This project compiles fine on MacOSX.

On windows, I get the following error:

OPTLINK (R) for Win32 Release 8.00.15 Copyright (C) Digital Mars 1989-2013 All rights reserved. http://www.digitalmars.com/ctg/optlink.html obj\Debug\TestD.obj(TestD) Offset 1E6ADH Record Type 009D Error 16: Index Range --- errorlevel 1

I believe this is a bug in the linker.

The project(small) can be found here: https://github.com/bitwise-github/D-Reflection/

Forgot the specs:

Xamarin Studio, DMD2, x86, on both sides

MacOSX Mavericks Windows 8.1

After further testing, I found that commenting out all occurrences of the following line in 'reflection.d' of the cited project allows the code to compile:

// _parent = parent;

'parent' is passed from parent to child through a constructor while a hierarchy of objects is created at compile time.

code was updated with workarounds, and the bug is gone.
