When attempting to compile the latest Mango source, I caught this nasty.  Using
the 
command line:
 build  mango -inline -O

Will exhibit the error:
 Internal error: ..\ztc\cod1.c 1293

It requires that those two specific command line arguments be present, at
minimum, for the 
error to manifest.  Using dmd's -v output, I think the offending code is in 
mango.utils.Timer, as that is where it gets to before issuing this error.  The
specific 
offending function is mango.utils.Timer.update() which looks like:






So... I'd say what's happening, is that DMD is marking it as a candidate for
inlining -- 
since its a one-liner anyhow -- and then barfing all over the 'volatile'
attribute, 
perhaps?  Should the 'private' attribute prevent inlining, especially since
both of the 
fields referanced ('time', and 'interval') are private?

Dunno.
