It's from Calypso actually, the assert is in gen/dcxxclasses.cpp 
and is only triggered by D classes inheriting from C++ classes 
with a vtable.

If the rest works as usual on Linux you got the most important 
covered. I'll check your merge as soon as I'm done fixing a 
linking error with the std::string example the latest additions 
introduced, then I'll add the Microsoft VTableContext support so 
we could get those first working binaries for Windows users :)

However LLVM and Clang 3.6 aren't even released yet (next week), 
IMHO it would be wiser to stick with 3.6 and get LDC/Calypso 
working with 3.6 until 3.7 is more stable. Did you mean that even 
LDC can't be built by MSVC with LLVM 3.6 atm?
