I was trying some funky stuff with D, not real code just playing 
and I got a message of a seg fault and a core dump written to a 
log. I just wondered where these logs are written to. It's not 
immediately apparent where it is.

like this?

Segmentation fault (core dumped)


That's actually more of a linux thing than a D thing. The file 
will be called "core" in the current directory. If your 
executable file was called test, you can check out the core dump 
with gdb like this:

  gdb ./test core




Segmentation fault (core dumped)


-rw------- 1 me users 1.4M 2013-05-28 17:13 core


/* snip some irrelevant stuff */
Core was generated by `./test'.
Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.

Also worth noting that if your distro uses systemd, than core 
dumps by default are written to journal and managed via
