          Issue ID: 23421
           Summary: File.rawRead is  system on Windows
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Hardware: All
                OS: Windows
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: phobos
          Assignee: nobody puremagic.com
          Reporter: snarwin+bugzilla gmail.com

The following program compiles on Linux, but not on Windows:

---
import std.stdio;

void main()  safe
{

}

private ubyte readByte(File file)  safe
in(file.isOpen)
{
    ubyte[1] buffer;
    return file.rawRead(buffer)[0];
}
---

The error message is:

--
Performing "debug" build using C:\D\dmd2\windows\bin\dmd.exe for x86_64.
safetest ~master: building configuration "application"...

The cause is likely several calls to extern(C) functions in a version (Windows)
block:
