Hello all,

Today I was trying to make a start for the lexing/treebuilding phase for 
DDoc. I got flex and bison going and the specifications alongside me. 
May you think, why is he lexing all over again, well I need the comments 
and comments and comments.

And then all the sudden, my beautiful lexer (well not that much right 
now) went stuck (well at least, I thought it went stuck).

So I tried and tried for two hours (and maybe even more) and then I 
found out that I did printf("%s\n", i) instead of printf("%d\n", i). 
Since the thing works in C/C++ (and unfortunately not in D).

There was my segfault.

The morale: Don't stick to D to much, it will infect you with somekind 
of virus called addiction.

Regards,
Sjoerd

We need a stack trace on segfault.
Walter remind us that the debuger does it for us.
On linux that's all gdb is good for but will cut those
2 hours in to 20 seconds.
On windows I couldn't make it work (not gdb, the other one).

I use windbg.exe. For the debugger to catch it, though, you also need to
disable the catch in phobos\internal\dmain2.d to the attached.

Heheh, I've noticed that about all of the C++ replacements: C#, D, and to a 
lesser extent, Java.  They're all very addictive :)
