This either really nasty bug or I'm hopelessly lost.

I have set up extremely simple test case reproducing misbehavior (at 
least for me):

0. Extract attached archive to project directory.
1. Compile visualstudio project.
2. Copy dll and lib to projects folder.
3. Run `coffimplib.exe -f dlltest.lib`.
4. Run `make_d.cmd` to compile D test program.

Run test.exe to see if output is, or is not expected
"dlltest.get_test():123"

I've never used coffimplib. But implib (which goes from either a .def or .dll directly) has worked for me. http://www.prowiki.org/wiki4d/wiki.cgi?DigitalMarsTools http://ftp.digitalmars.com/bup.zip --bb

Ok, I have tried implib as `implib.exe /s dlltest.lib dlltest.dll` Same results. Could you confirm is this a bug or not? -- serg.

Whenever it caused by, its a bug. I have filled an issue in bugzilla. -- serg.
