Code generated from DMD looks like this:

```
inout pure nothrow @nogc @system BitPacked!(bool, 1LU) opIndex(ulong idx)
                        in
                        {
                                assert(idx < this.limit, _d_assert_fail(idx,
this.limit));
                        }
                        do
                        {
                                {
                                        {
                                                assert(idx < this.limit,
_d_assert_fail(idx, this.limit));
                                        }
                                }
                                return this.ptr.opIndex(this.ofs + idx);
                        }
```


...


```
_d_assert_fail!("<", ulong, ulong)
{
        pure nothrow @nogc @safe string _d_assert_fail(ulong a, ulong b)
        {
                import core.internal.dassert : invertCompToken,
miniFormatFakeAttributes, pureAlloc;
                string valA = miniFormatFakeAttributes(a);
                string valB = miniFormatFakeAttributes(b);
                enum string token = ">=";
                const const(ulong) totalLen = valA.length + 2LU + valB.length +
2LU;
                char[] buffer = cast(char[])pureAlloc(totalLen)[0..totalLen];
                ulong n = valA.length;
                buffer[0..n] = cast(const(char[]))valA;
                buffer[n++] = ' ';
                buffer[n..n + 2LU] = ">=";
                n += 2LU;
                buffer[n++] = ' ';
                buffer[n..n + valB.length] = cast(const(char[]))valB;
                return delegate () => cast(string)buffer();
        }

}
```

but it doesn't appear in the object file:

```
$ nm bar.o | grep assert_fail | ddemangle
0000000000000000 W pure nothrow @nogc @trusted immutable(char)[]
object._d_assert_fail!("<", uint, uint)._d_assert_fail(uint, uint).__lambda3()
0000000000000000 W pure nothrow @nogc @safe immutable(char)[]
object._d_assert_fail!("<", uint, uint)._d_assert_fail(uint, uint)
                 U pure nothrow @nogc @safe immutable(char)[]
object._d_assert_fail!("<", ulong, ulong)._d_assert_fail(ulong, ulong)
0000000000000000 W pure nothrow @nogc @trusted immutable(char)[]
object._d_assert_fail!(">=", uint, uint)._d_assert_fail(uint, uint).__lambda3()
0000000000000000 W pure nothrow @nogc @safe immutable(char)[]
object._d_assert_fail!(">=", uint, uint)._d_assert_fail(uint, uint)
```

DMD probably thinks that this assertion was already instantiated in Phobos (and
thus should be part of the object file), but it is not as Phobos was build
without -checkaction=context.
