Hello, I have a strange bug on my laptop at work when working with VSCode and the integrated terminal. At home it is working perfectly. When I type dub in the terminal (powershell, bash or cmd) the process hangs before the end and display weird output. Today I typed 'dmd -v' and this one crash as well (sometimes displaying a big error messagebox and sometimes "ERROR: This is a compiler bug.". You can find album of the bug here: https://imgur.com/a/eYYIsRE No problem with LDC2, no problems with dmd/dub at home.

Just build DMD yourself using ldc2 or just use ldc2 instead. This issue already been reported and a pull request that fixed the issue was made, but no action has been taken on D's management end.
