Created attachment 1623 program.d in 7zip

I have create a target generating D for my project jtransc: https://github.com/jtransc/jtransc So it allows to convert Java/Kotlin/Scala AOT into D and generate native executables. In complex programs, the generated D file is pretty big. And in order to get comprehensive stacktraces in debug builds I have to add -gc. The big test suite including most of the java standard library generates a ~6MB d file. Without the -gc switch DMD works just fine and generates the executable.

dmd --version DMD32 D Compiler v2.072.0

dmd -gc program.d Error: linker exited with status 482878712

As a workaround, try microsoft linker with -m32mscoff compiler switch https://dlang.org/dmd-windows.html#switch-m32mscoff

dmd -gc -m32mscoff program.d
