Hi,

I have a LDC (1.30.0) built binary on Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS x86_64, 
the program core dumps somewhere, so I want to debug it. However 
under gdb, the program fails as soon as I start it:

```
(gdb) r

```

Without gdb, the program at least can run for a while, and make 
some progress before it core dumps.

Has anyone experienced such problem before?

any suggestions where I should look at?

Thanks.

Did you try to use GDC? As gdb more gcc tool
And for llvm should be lldb..

If you are compiling your program with "-release" command line 
option, then arrays bounds checking is not done in the  system 
code at all (which is all of your code by default). Either remove 
this "-release" option or try to mark all of your code as  safe 
and check whether the problem manifests itself in a nicer and 
more obvious way.

Also in GDB it's always useful to look at the output of the "bt" 
(backtrace) command. Running your program under valgrind may also 
reveal something.
