           Summary: circular imports break with -cov
           Product: D
           Version: 0.156
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: DMD
        AssignedTo: bugzilla at digitalmars.com
        ReportedBy: shro8822 at uidaho.edu


With or without the -cov option, this compiles. However, the version with
–cov fails at _runtime_ with a circular reference error of some type.

<code file=a.d>
import b;
void main(){}
</code>

<code file=b.d>
import a;
</code>

thoughts:
--This should be detected at compile/link time (or maybe that’s no possible).
--There should be some way to control initialization loops. (how?)


tested on linux, assumed on others
