\..\..\src\phobos\std\experimental\logger\core.d(1784): Error: 
static variable stdLoggerThreadLogger cannot be read at compile 
time

I'm trying to use the logger in a static this. It should work or, 
if it can't, quietly fail(not log anything)... and not break the 
program.

The error tells you you're trying to use something in a 
compile-time context that can't be used at compile time. You 
*should* get errors in that situation. Can you share the 
offending code?

Wait, that makes no sense... The error is in phobos... not my 
code. THAT specifically means that it is a phobos problem, 
irrespective of what I'm doing.

Is the above the _entire_ error message? For a simple test 
program, I get the following:

     int sayHello() {
         import std.stdio;
         writeln("Hello!");
         return 42;
     }

     enum value = sayHello();    // line 7


     /home/marc/d/phobos/std/stdio.d(3012): Error: static variable 
stdout cannot be read at compile time
     /home/marc/d/phobos/std/stdio.d(3076):        called from 
here: trustedStdout()
     xx.d(3):        called from here: writeln("Hello!")
     xx.d(7):        called from here: sayHello()

Notice the lines saying "called from here". They will point you 
to the place where the compile-time evaluation is started.

you could create a new Logger and use this one.

static this() {
     auto tmpLog = new FileLogger("logfile.log");
     tmpLog.log("Hello World");
}

D shouldn't have a problem with this. It uses import dependencies to 
make sure the static ctors are run in dependency order.
