And I got Access Violation when run the sample which compiled with 
"build -release -O -clean sample.d", but everything is OK when i remove 
the -O flag.
This can be resolved by using volatile synchronized or change some 
expression, see below.
But i'd like to confirm, is it really a dmd bug or somewhat?

To find out where the problem occurs, I wrote a small block of codes which 
demonstrates the problem.
the writefln statements show the difference between the compilation with -O 
or not.
