GDC fails

[simendsjo]

Building with GDC 4.9 on Arch x64 fails. The example segfaults of building in debug mode, and it gives OutOfMemory if built with release.

[simendsjo]

It seems an assertion is triggered in setTags at canvas.d:713

        foreach (tag; tags)
        {
            assert(!tag.all!(isNumber), "Tags must not be entirely composed of numbers.");
        }

Here's a backtrace:

The library has not been tested at all with other compilers and i don't have them installed. If you could find the issue, your help would be most appreciated.

[simendsjo]

I don't actually use gdc or have a project in mind - it was just to test it. Looks great though!
But I don't have an incentive to spend a lot of time on this. I guess someone else will jump on it soon. Sorry about that.

[nomad-software]

Ah ok, i'll leave this issue open and hope someone can take a look sometime.

I prefer to advise you to not use GDC anymore. They do a great job, but they do not follow current D references. The best replacement would certainly be DMD2 or LDC for performances. Just trying to compile the simplest code with GDC won't be successful.

Sorry if I hurt you ;)
