Issue ID: 22752
Summary: _d_delThrowable() may crash if a foreign Throwable
object is being finalized by the GC
Product: D
Version: D2
Hardware: All
OS: Windows
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P1
Component: druntime
Assignee: nobody at puremagic.com
Reporter: frame86 at live.com
It's currently possible to return a Throwable object from a D-DLL and throw it
in the main application.
While this is questionable use case - it's also a workaround for the poor
DLL-support because throwing from a DLL function directly crashes.
However, while earlier builds just crashes immediately if a foreign Throwable
object was thrown now the Throwable can be thrown but a timed bomb is plant in
_d_delThrowable() which causes the program later to crash if the GC decides to
finialize it later.
